Thanks Mary Anne. I put the original image back (less the little blotch). You are right, I messed the eye up pretty bad trying to lighten. Looks more natural now.

Sam, I think you should return the eye to its original darker state. This makes the horse look like he's on drugs. I know how difficult it is to lighten just part of an image, esp. after so much PS manipulation has already been done, but that eye is now really a distraction. (Sorry if we're making you crazy over this! LOL)

Thank you for the comments and suggestions. I removed the spot and lightened the eye up a bit.

A perfect image for grain! There is a little blotch on the middle right that I would clone for distraction purposes, but otherwise great. Another note is that I wish I could see more of the horse's eye that is shown. jano

The horse looks tired and overworked and the background amplifies this impression. Just wish I didn't feel the same way. -tv

Agreed, the grain works quite well with this- nice work Sam.

Very nice Sam! I like the soft focus on the horse and the grain works really well.
