Description
My first ever photomanipulation for a friend of mine, who might use it for a poster, but im not too sure whether it is what she is after or not. Its nothing like her original card as I found it difficult to find stock to use.

Final horse picture for Elamore Healing and Massage Centre. Made the background sharper, defined the edges of the horse more and added depth to the mane and tail.
I really have to take my hat off to all those photomanipilatiors out there I thought Photomanipulation would be an easy thing to learn, but I was soon shown my arrogance. Its a really hard, enjoyable and expressive form of art. Its not cheating like I originally thought and involves intense digital painting skill and a real understanding of light, blending and atmosphere.

As my first piece it took me well over 20 hours to do, with lots of learning an recoloring along the way.
The horse was totally recolored and altered to look more like a Friesian as requested.

Horse stock = venomxbaby
Kapiti Island = stock image from google (general restrictions)

Special thanks to Equimanipulation these folks are just awesome, offering explanations and definitions by the bucketloads!
