Personalized Photos

Hey everyone,
I have been playing around with personalizing photo's, with rich color effects. In this I was taking two images , One of the person, and the other of their horses as it made for an interesting effect and overall appeal. I would love to have a few critiques on Techniques, of merging two photo's together, and adding color through hue/Saturation colorize, with out putting to much flatness into the picture in the end result.
This is one I had made for a friend, with limited time to make the picture. I took the Horizon of the picture out(the horse doing the three can tango) and added the personalized picture in behind with some soft glow around the edges to make it pop out to the viewer.

This one is of myself and my horses, I was going for the effect of me being the "watcher" or "Thekeeper" of the horses. I could have used a better picture but it was just used for an example not a complete product. I tried to make myself more cloudy looking with misted edges, but it turned out to be alittle to blotchy and pixelated, mind you the picture I was working with wasn't of best quality (taken on a webcam)

Thanks for viewing my creativity. :P
 
Apollosky Welcome to PSG and enjoy your stay.
Those are really your horses, right?

I love horses and I just start painting one n canvas. i wll show it off when i am done.

with out putting to much flatness into the picture in the end result.

Lights and shadows is what you need. There are a few techniques , and to lean about them I highly recommend to red Mar's tutorials ( glossy botton > is a must) and
than searc google. You will find a lot of info.

Looking forward to see more of your work!
 
Yes the second picture is of me and my horses. The first picture is not.
Thanks for the tips I will try them out .. I can't wait to see your painting ;)
 
It is a project I am working on for a while, trying to capture their beautifil eys and lashes and that look that they can give you.!

I love horses, their beauty and power !
