There should be some dirt showing on the edge of the grass cross section. Otherwise this is a great idea and good execution!

Great surrealism. Well done

lol..i like it..thi sis awesommme just fab

Great idea!

wonder fun!

Creative surrealism. I do kind of wish the hole in the grass lined up with the hooves rather than being off to the side of the horse, however. (It seems to me that a horse sticking its head through a hole off to the side would likely be in more of a 3/4 pose exposing the top of the head and the far ear -- but maybe that's too realistic for surrealism.)

Awesome! GL

BRILLIANT

You have a wonderful and unique imagination!!

creative idea and nice composition

Wow ... amazing, surrealistic image. Love the imagination behind this! Stupendous work.

Great idea. Love the use of texture

Congrats Nanaris,fantastic work.....well deserved first place...

Great feel to this piece, I really like what you have done with the wispy hair and how you created the wings. In my personal opinion the very bright horn takes a little too much of the focus away from the beutiful horse, but that's only in my very humble opinion.

great work

Nice AUthor...looking beautiful..!!

I like this, the horse almost looks like a stuffed animal good job

Very lovely ... the sense of whimsy you have captured is very good. And there is a feeling of movement and flight as well. Excellent job!

Beautiful soft wings

Very pretty, and love the colors. Great job, author!

Congrats...

Thank you for the nice comments

Nice work -- edges of the horse and especially the grass seem a bit to sharp and smooth -- maybe a bit of blur on the horse and some blades of grass sticking out

Edit Nice work on the changes - like to be thought of as having useful suggestions for improvements -- its the Canadian way LOL

Thanks Alan2641 your comments are always helpful. I've softened the edges a bit and made some adjustments. I've added a step five to show changes.

Lovely work. Difficult to get the proportion correct when changing it like this. Bravo! It is a really lovely image. The horse has such a regal and elegant look to it now!

so very handsome

So beautiful and so dreamy!

very beautiful entry .........

I like how his mouth is open, he looks full of energy on this beautiful full moon night.

Congrats for third place !

Thanks to all for the kind comments and congrats! Special thanks to Jaskier for yet another fine source image!

The selective desaturation doesn't really work well for this image. You've emphasized the grass, rather than your subject.

Good point - will remember for future work. Thanks!

Great shading on this! Very nice. :0

yes this looks good to me too

I sort of like the desaturation ... It gives the image an almost surreal look. And the horse looks tired. This image has quite a mood to it. Good work!

Love the mood to this image. GL Author

Thanks for the kind comments!

Amazing entry, very good work on adding shadows and highlights

Great job, author! Love the look and feel of this

Really like the feel here!

I really like the mood here, well done.

I love this one !

I love this one !

He looks so sad ... you have really given him a personality!

Ya...I remembered a scene from Toy Story 3; when woody is going to leave whole gang back, when bullseye follows him and that time he has that sad look on his face. And also as I have kept his neck a bit downward, it makes his sad look appropriate to that posture.

Very cute, I knew what it was right away before even reading the title (Just bought Toy Story 3 myself hehe). Great job!

TOY STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!

Ya thanks.....I am glad you guys like it.

so cool work...best of luck author
