I have added the horse, lake, tree and the clouds. Further, I have made shadows to the ground and light from the sky (filter: lightening effects). I also have used curves to adjust the colours - one adjustment layer for each part of the image (snowy mountain, horse, tree, sky). I hope you like it!
Thanks to Chris Bond at for letting me use his beautiful tree, and also thanks to John tokarz for letting me use his beautiful lake. I found both images on Flickr.

Re: would you allow me to use your tree 3 in a contest?
That's fine. I will allow you to use it.
Thanks. (5 years and 3735 days ago)
Horse is too big in my opinion, and the tree is too small.. nice idea though, good creation! Good luck!
A green tree in the snow?
lose the tree and this would be great!
Overall the image looks good, but the perspective is off so the tree actually looks like one of those mini-trees you see in the museums.
gr8 job
the tree seems a bit out of prpotion looking at the horse size(or is it a pony?) then again i know just as much about horses as about trees rly but i love how you blended them in this image
im not sure about the sky since the landscaping is so bright
Thank you Eladine. I also want to tell you that I used your tutorial to brush up the horse tail.
After looking a bit on this I agree that the tree should have been bigger. But I have accidentally flattened my psd and saved
I think the horse is fine but the tree is too small like the others said.
The horse fits just perfect to the background! Very good choice of the source
Good luck!
Congratulations for 3rd
Congrats for your third place!

Howdie stranger!
