Out West

[Christopher Miller]

This was one of the Confederate cavalry horses at the Civil War reenactment that I went to last month. Using my aging process, I was able to give it an old western feel that I really like.

I used one of my textures and two textures from Shadowhouse Creations, "Beneath the Surface1" and "Softly Aged Sepia." I also added a vignette.

Any comments and suggestions would be most appreciated!

Very realistic Christopher. It does remind me of an old western look. If I were to be very picky I might suggest toning down the sliver of shadow in the LRC-but that is very minor. Great work as always.:)

Really well done, Christopher. I love the look on the horse's face. Your textures are so authentic it would be impossible to tell this is a modern photo.

Christopher, I love how you choose timeless subjects and then make the image look like an antique. The total effect is very believable and conveys a sense of history. Well done!

Christopher, Wonderful, timeless subject and great application of your technique!

I really like this one since I'm a horse-lover at heart. Excellent composition and the textures and technique really made it look old.
