20050625 Mother and Foal Asleep

Just occasionally I stray into the banana-skin infested waters of Photoshop special effects.

There is a touch of 'Smart Blur' on this one which I think is appropriate to the scene.

Please tell me what you think - here's another treatment:









other sizes: small medium large original auto

This one is special too. The treatment enhances rather than overpowers. Great work, John

I keep coming back to this one. This would be so wonderful on a wall. One of my favorite parts of this image that I didn't mention before is the mare's "Mona Lisa smile" - she seems very privately satisfied with what she's just accomplished. A perfectly captured moment!

This one on the other hand, Is absolutely beautifuL! I love this! the tones and the softness are just wonderful, as well as the subject and composition, really think you did a splendid job with your photoshop choices on this one.

I like the upper one best, too. I don't think PS is such a "slippery slope"....it certainly enhances what I'm sure was an already excellent image and you've represented it as such....digital art can be a wonderful medium with just as much value and as any art form, just as long as you represent it as such. I think this is beautiful!

Lovely. This shot gives off a warm feeling.

Lovely tender image! The overall effect with the soft lighting and the sepia tones is extraordinary! Love it!

Beautiful. Very tender image.
Della Huff25-Jun-2005 18:19
I forgot to add that the sepia is also perfect for this - seems so natural and brings out the textures perfectly.

I think it's beautiful. You know I love your shots of horses, but this one is really special. She seems to have a smile on her face, and the lighting is just perfect! I like it much better than the grainy version - I think it takes away from the beautiful textures of mane, hide, and grass. voted!

Nice! I like it, gives it some romance. Love the light on the mares' mane too. (Have to say, not keen on the other one! sorry hehe)

Great
