Description
YAY! I got one :] So I have these papers on which I've written all these random sayings that I come up from time to time. A while ago while sitting on my bed while it was raining, I was like gosh I hate waiting for the rain to stop, and then came this lovely little saying. Today, when I woke up it was raining, and I wanted to make a manip so I decided on this one. And guess what after I was done the rain did break! haha ironic eh?Anyway So I searched for quite some time before finding the background, the horse I found first, quite quickly. Background wasn't cloudy enough so I added some, then it didn't look right so I added the fog. Put the horse in, and added some breath, first time doing that one and probably last for a while. Then came the rain I had wanted to try a new technique, but it was taking too long so i reverted back to blurring my stars. And lastly the white stuff under the horse is my attempt at the rain dripping off him, not so hot. and not so necessary probably. but whatev.

the mist is absolutely beautiful and the horse blends marvelously.
the only thing i see, if you would like critique, is that the image could be bettered by making the font a smaller sized.
this is stunning, really

Thanks <3 and no worries I love critique. I see waht you mean about the font being a bit big, I tend to either make it to big or too small, and often too much. i'll keep it in mind for next time though :]

I think you've outdone yourself on this one. 
The text is gorgeous, especially the font you used for the word Rain. The reflection for the word Break looks a little perfect, maybe try blurring it just a little? Just a thought.
And the horse fits the background really well. The breath isn't so bad, especially for a first try. I don't think you need so much breath, though. At least not at the part where it's coming out of the nostrils. From what I've seen. breath tends to come out in a little stream and puff out in the end, if that makes sense. And good try with the water dripping off the horse. I agree it's not the greatest part of the manip, but it's better than I've eve done so I'll shut up about that.
Anyways, overall this is amazing. Great job!

Thank you, and thanks for the fav <3
Blurring the text would have been good I'll admit but hey, didn't think of that one. and on the breath good idea, that really helps, ok well not with my making it, but with the shaping of it you know?
