monsterengerydrinker.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2xqsfeThis was just a random manip i made, and i REALLY liked the mane but i HATE the tail...i'm seriously fearing it right now... and the feathers in the tail also suck...I'm not very confident of the rear end all together o.O wow...i just realized how many things i don't like about this when i went to go get the link...i hate the feet, the lighting, and the tail...too much...OKAYI'MDONE!!!! P.S this is not the same background as the other one posted on here. They look the same but they're not. Trust me.

Ooo. Lovely colour balance. I really like the contrast between the white background and grey horse. Gives it a very vintage-wispy-calm look. I would have to disagree with you about the feet - I think you've blended them in with the background perfectly. You almost can't tell it wasn't there in the first place =) I'm not one to critique on tails, mine fail, but it's a little too floofy, if you ask me. It fluffs out at the back more than it would naturally - horse tails are usually flatter. This tutorial helped me a lot with tails: arrsistable.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d11rjyeThe mane is gorgeous. Erm.... oh yeah! The markings look a little harsh. The colours don't seem to gel with the coat markings all that well. Maybe try to reduce to opacity or play with the colour balance (reduce saturation, maybe?) Other than that I think it's lovely. You could add a texture over the top to jazz it up a little, but that's just a suggestion.

Lovely manipulation and i agree with Emma on the few things they pointed out, Just wanted to give you a tip as i noticed the tail: It appears that you have smudged the horses tail on the same layer as the background or had the 'sample all layers' on, i would advise you to smudge your horses tail/manes on its own layer and not merged onto the background's layer
