Jeez Kel this is just AMAZING. I love all the warm colors <3 I makes me want to grab all that hair and give da cuuuuute pony a big ole hug! You are really getting better, and I am so sorry I haven't recently been there for you But i hope you find it in your big heart to forgive me. I am sorry for everything.
from the Aero horses I couldn't train to the many things you ordered but I never did. 
I just wanted to say how much you have improved. C: This is practically flawless and I just love it. 
Hope this premade is just a beginning of the wonderful journey you are headed on with graphics. Too bad you will have to make that journey without me.  
I love you.

Gaaaaaaaaah Kel xDD YOU ARE AMAZING. I just literally started crying. I guess getting though this mess together won't be that hard, now will it? WE'VE GOT EACH OTHER!  and as long as I has by Kel Bear I think I'll be just fine <3 The aero will be great, not because of the horses, but because of the people who made it and our story C: I could care less what other people will think, just as long as WE LIKE WHAT WE DO. No one will ever be able to understand this bond we have. 
I've got to go soon, goodbye.

Hey so i stumbled upon your page and realized you're a fellow horselander xD i was Exotic :3
i saw that you allowed critiques and i thought i'd give it a go since i love critiquing, hope you don't mind

You actually pieced the horse and bg very well together, and i really like the lighting. 
The blur is very nice, but the part where the horse is standing shouldn't be blurred, so the horse's legs don't blend it as it should. Maybe try a soft eraser at 80% opacity and erase the ends, then paint some grass in. If you look closely near the horse's ear, there's a triangular shaped section that's a bit lighter than the image. Your border is very nice, i really like it, but lower the opacity of it(if you can) because it's rather distracting. 

As for the hair, it looks actually quite good even though you didn't paint it in(i think). All i have to say is when you smudge the hair out, use a lower opacity since it's smudged heavily at some parts as well as the ends. Try not to smudge your hair, and give painting a go . Because hair is reflective, there should be a light orangyness to the hair because of the light. 

Around the belly area of the horse, there's some smudged part which i don't think it is needed. If you were going for a softer look, just lower the opacity a lot and go over the horse's coat following the direction. The hind leg has a smudged spot as well and so does the shoulder. Your cutting is good, just a bit choppy at some areas. There are some parts of the horse where there's some dirt spots, and you can clean that up easily by zooming in, picking the clone tool in your toolbar(it looks like a stamp, hover over the icon and it should show its name), setting it at low opacity, and  going over the unwanted spots. The shadow is not really needed, since it looks like there's not much light in that area. Try lightly making a darker spot under the horse instead of a shadow. 

This doesn't have a high originality since there are tons of manipulations with horses standing in the forest, but it's very nice, especially with the lighting of it. 

Overall, this manip is pretty good, but with just a bit more practice it could be better. Very beautiful, and good job :huggles:
i hope you have found my critique helpful for the future, have a great week, fellow horselander
