Here's another of the pony in the snow images that I've been working on. On this one I only used one of my textures to replace the BG and then added multiple layers of falling snow using Dave Seeram's snowscape action. I also added a blur overlay and desaturated the image slightly.

Christopher, this is wonderful. The poor little guy looks awfully cold though.

Christopher, I think the blur layer makes this special. Love the pose and the softness. I might prefer the pony down in the frame more. The vignette is very well done.

Just beautiful. I notice a dark area on his left front leg which I first thought was his chestnut but it is too low for that, you may want to clone it out?
I would love to have this on my wall!!!

Thanks for pointing that spot out, Sandy. I looked at the original photo and it looks like a bit of stuff caught in the pony's hair. I'll clone it out.

Hi Christopher, this is processed beautifully. The pony looks great too...perhaps a smidge lower in the frame though as Denise suggests. Nice work!

Another lovely piece of work, I like everything about it, the effects, colors, textures...well done
Only thing I noticed that I'd clone out is the black line under the rear feet but again thats just my opinion.

Thanks Paul! I hadn't noticed that line, I think it's from a stick on the ground. Heading off to clone it out right now... :S3:
