One of those times??? LOL... everything I do is like that, I hate my pictures, most of them anyway.... This is beautiful, I love the misty look and the pose with her horse is classical beauty. Sometimes, you just gotta say "Done"!!!

A very beautiful masterpiece! Your extra hard work and many efforts were well paid off with this fine creation! Bravo and many kudos! Thanks for sharing your experience and also for giving us this chance to view this excellent work of art!

This is a great piece, the atmsophere and details are awesome ! Fine hair too ... Worth the work !

Incredibley worked piece!!dont be so hard on yourself my friend enjoy what you do make it fun and things always click into place!Believe me your doing great!!

Wow! Just... wow! =) I would be interested to hear just what you are unhappy with. Given i am very new at this but in my eyes it is just amazing.

I think it is magnificent. Like barryjeffer, every single thing I do is like what you are saying. That's why not much is in my gallery.

I agree with Shroom. You should not be so hard on yourself. Somethimes, the way it turns out is your imagination going that "extra mile". It has turned out just as it's meant to. Your hard work and natural talent, are self evident here. Steve :)

not sure why your being harsh on yourself, this is a splendid job and your art is tops.

Hehe, thank you guys. I wasn't meaning to sound as hard on myself as it seemed. It was just one of those renders that takes lots of painting in order to get the "messy out, and bring it to fruition. Some just seem to go easier than others and this wasn't one of them - but I didn't want to take the easy way out and scrap it like I usually do. And even when I paint traditionally, I can ALWAYS find something to add or tinker with or adjust. I usually just have to tell myself its time to put it down now! I actually like this alright now that I look at it with fresh eyes. There may always be something that doesn't look "done", but that's alright, I'll figure it out on the next one :) Thank you again, its nice to finally be getting things out in the public and bringing you all along with me on this artistic pilgrimage I feel like I'm on. Im usually so private, I decided that if I'm going to put my work here, I might as well be honest about the process and all the emotions that often go behind it, and get to know other artists on that level that go through it too.

A sweet and tender scene of two special friends. Lovely lighting and mood presentation in this enchanting image :o) 5+

This is such a lovely render. I like horses and this one looks so beautiful and gentle. A very tender scene.

Great composition. I love the pose, it makes you feel the complicity between the two charaters ! Very well done !

Fantastic render! Wonderful horse and a nice Character.

I love this! So beautiful n caring! xxx

So beautiful and touching! Amazing done!

This is stunning. As you might guess from my avatar I have a horse, and I love them so much!

I can't get enough of them! And I thought you might like this one :)

Absolutely love it. Your persistence has paid off and then some. What a gorgeous scene you have created. So glad you didn't give up on it. Beautiful.

A beautiful emotional image with super posing of the horse and the girl. Some images go right first but most of mine take render after render and lots of postwork to get them anywhere near ready. I too started out not knowing a jolly thing but with the help of RR and lots of tutorials I am finally starting to get the hang of things but with heaps still to learn.

well unless i am intentionally doing a more 3d toonish look i have much post work and sometime multiple rendered layers to get what i want.. and that after maybe 3 or so days of light and shader adjusting "test" renders.. lol I love what you did with the Girl and her horse theme!!! i REALLY like her look and the way you have her dressed.. the flowers on her leg was genius!!! This is a very masterful piece! I say send it to fine-art printing show it and and sell it! :o) would love to see more of her with or without her horse! she is special!! have a great day/night and thank you for sharing your talents with us! :o)

You guys are so sweet, I swear :) Ya'll make me smile.

That happen to me all, and lately I just post what I get in the render. Regarding to this image. I think it very good already, the pose is natural and the fog background works perfectly to add the artistic

Well, I like it a lot warm hugs, Linda

Beautiful interaction with the horse and the setting is lovely! Magical work!

wonderful posing and lovely rendner!

I really like your style and atmosphere. Very nice

Your hard work and render time really paid off. This is gorgeous. What a beautiful horse and model.

Truely beautiful

Love this so much, a delight to view, hugs Jane xx

Honey, every render is a struggle. If it wasn't a struggle it wouldn't be worth while putting it out here. Remember the old adage, it's not the end, but the journey that counts. Every effort you put into an image now, whether you judge it to be a success or not, will pay off in some future work. The secret is simply to keep pushing, and never be completely satisfied. I look back on some of my images that I thought were "great" at the time and now I see all sorts of fixes. Just smile and go on, keep the faith and never, ever stop growing!
