Here I used the power of RAW files, to help correct the overexposure of the lights. I processed the raw file again this time exposing for the lights, making the horse almost invisible. Then I copied and pasted this image into the one exposed for the horse. To blend the two layers, I used a layer mask to reveal the correctly exposed lights. Let me know If you like this better than the original I posted in the other thread.

I can see some thing round the lights like you havent finished erasing one of the blended layers. But apart from that good blending.

Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them!

Indeed.. very noticable dark shadow around the lights

I think an excellent bit of postwork.
