Rogue horse

I stepped out of the security of using masks and tried this tutorial. [link] It was very helpful. I love tutorials since I always learn something new.

This picture was hard since the horse was in full sun and I like darker pics. So I had to pull out one of my own desert backgrounds to fit the lighting. I suck at shading right now- I really need to find some tutorials on how to manipulated shadows or create shading.
