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)
