A small [8"] painted ceramic horse. Shot for an ad, brochure etc.,

How can it be done better? Does this get your attention?

Yes, it does!

Perfect idea, very fun.

Two ideas come to mind. First, and this is the way I'd go, use a more complimentary background. It feels to me like a desert sunset would be more fitting considering the Indian motif. Second, I would try this with either background, before you place the horse into the scene, try putting a red spot on it from the top so that it will look more like it is being effected by the sunset. Just my thoughts, Anthony

I like your ideas Anthony, and I appreciate your time. It is a desert sunset (my front yard) but you'd never know it since I burned all the lower catus in black out, my bad. I'll work on the red spot/ reflection of the sunset, that would finish it off nicely.

don't know much about photography or PS to give any better thought, but i would take Anthony's recommendation any time. Besides technical part, i think the contrast of the colors are stunningly beautiful and definately eye-catching. Beautiful horse, i can not imagine to see it in life, i would spend hours to appreciate little details. Thanks for sharing Neil. Warm regards, Tanya.
