Not everyone who calls themselves a successful photo-manipulator knows some of the secrets of tediously finding the perfect stock, and working hard to make sure the simple--and usually overlooked--but impactful details, such as lighting/shadows, or stirred-up environment where the feet (or in this case, hooves) touch the earth, all fit together like a perfect puzzle.

I believe you did a magnificent job in capturing your vision here. With the far background out of focus, the viewer's eye is directed to the subject, exactly where it should be. But the entire atmosphere of the piece isn't one of askew focus, but something magical that blends beautifully. If I didn't know this was a photo manipulation, with stock photos used, I would assume it was either a fantastically-done painting, or some sort of extra-ordinary photography (though to be honest, it really looks more like it was hand-painted!).

A real standing ovation to this one. Positively remarkable, and I'm very glad I stumbled upon it.

Can't wait to see more!
