the photomanip doesn't look too bad at all! the horse could use some brighter highlights to go with the sand, or the sand should be a little darker to really fit together. you might think about adding single strands of hair to the blurred bits to make it pop more, like this tutorial shows [link] otherwise, the rest of the work is hard to comment on because the image is such a a small size, even in full view.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
