| Though the Eyes of Horses | January 24, 2009 @ 5:26pm | It was apparently "Bring your horse to the beach day" as there were at least dozen horse trailers in the parking lot ready to take a stroll. I wish I could have taken more pictures, but I had my husky with me and he was ready to go. I was able to steal this shot before I was dragged to the beach. C & C appreciated!

One is saying to the other: "Could the woman please get that camera out of our faces and take that crazy mutt out to the beach?!"

It's like, "We're always having to do this. Sigh." The graphic form the two heads make together looks like the letter "M" - very nice.

| January 26, 2009 @ 8:51am | One question, the car in the bottom left corner is bugging me. I want to remove it, but I do not know how. I will try to figure it out, but does is necessarily need to be removed?
And yes - they were probably ready for me to get my dog away from them!

Regarding the car: if it bothers you, and you clone it out, will you then find yourself fretting about all the busy foliage and other background clutter still left? If I wanted a real project, I think I'd try to extract the horses entirely from the shot and provide a white background. White--because I like the look of the white driveway beneath their necks.

| January 26, 2009 @ 3:54pm | Figured I would take a shot at this making the background white. The only thing I am not pleased about is the horse's hair on the left. But, I did the best I could for the moment. I don't know how to remove color in between strands of hair yet. But I guess now that I think about it, I could just blend two more pictures together....hmmm....will work on that tomorrow.
But overall, I like the idea! Thanks...

As for the car in the original version, I didn't even notice it, because the horses were so interesting. If the car bothers you, just darken it so it fades into the background.

It could almost be a card.
Nice work,
