Figured I'd throw this in here.

Off the top at least half of this photo wasn't in the original image and of that half about a third of it has been faked. Just your basic messing around in the shop of photos.

For the record, I replaced the sky, faked the moon, and trees and used some of the trees to cover over a building that was out of place in the scene. Converted to b/w and painted in and out various effects using perfect effects 8 that affected the light levels mainly. At various points it's been sharpened and hdr'd among other processes. Still haven't gotten the affect I wanted, but it will do for now.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

This is one lovely looking photo and the art effect you applied is stunning plus I love the moon light that is reflecting off the horse and grasses Wendell .This is perfect with great composition my friend and sure does look like a scene from the Wild West and nice description you gave this one very fitting my friend.

The horse is hiding from the Amish, Wendell. I think it is in witness protection, but I wouldn't swear to it.
Great manip and I hope you didn't blow his cover.

Very eerie and creative! I saw this last night, and wanted a better look. Maybe the tail could be softened a little where it meets the grass? That's about my only niggle. I like the way the horse is looking back, with the creepy trees reaching out behind. Faves. :-)

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

Nice semi-spooky picture. It made me think of the "Headless Horseman."
