The shadow is completely real! The landscape is bumpy and since there is no grass all the little bumps and details of the landscape are deforming the shadow. The long shadow is due to the sunset, which produce such long shadow when its about the set on the horizon. This was taken on a hill and this is why the horizon is not perfectly straight, as i was aiming more to make the horse straight than the horizon. The wierd stomack of the horse in the shadow is probably due to a bump over there, or most probably due to the fact that the shadow is totally stretched and the longer the part, the more it appear to be stretched. This image was not edited except for rescaling it down. Original image was 1600 x 1200.

Hard to beleive but true. Take a look at your shadow on the street when the sun is about to set and see how long and deformed it become. Many interesting effect can be created that way :)

I found a nice plugin for Photoshop 6 and Element and tried it on my photo to generate a sky...worked not so bad:

Excellent colors, very good DOF. A brilliant shot. Only "negative" point is the boring sky that day...but there wasn't much you could do about it :-)
