haven't done a manip in a surprisingly long time. this one took me a day in total to make. i made it span over three days though. so what can i improve on ? and what do you think ?

EDIT: fixed the tail, the upper leg in the air, the flow of the grass around the hooves.

Wow, very good! ^^

Its set very well, and at first i saw it as a flawless photo.

When i looked closer, it still appeared to be very good, but the foal seemed to be sort of awkward. I believe you probably set the foal's hind legs too deep into the grass, and maybe next time make the shadow just a little darker. The grass was a little TOO light, colorwise, all most a little washed out compared to the dark sky, so watch out for that.

Other than that, i compliment you on a job well done. It looks nice. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>

A bit of advice: Make the small stuff like a spice. Make it so its there and its a subtle change, but you just can't put your finger on it. You know what i mean?
