Roan,

I REALLY like the blue sky and the way the horse is so far.

Thanks, animal!

The sky has a lot more of a turquoise look about it in the original and the long shadows on his neck aren't so blue. The scanner didn't pick up a lot of the burnishing.

Not sure how much more I'll work on this one. I kinda like it how it is

I love the way the light and shadow play against his body. He seems to be trying to catch the last bit of sun.

Thanks, Leaflin :P

I think he was half asleep, too. I took this pic after him and the other two foals had been romping about for a good hour. He was pretty tired
