Allow me to preface by saying this piece is quite beautiful. I love the autumn vibes that emanate from it. :) You did a good job with the sun light playing with the shadow. Your BG blurring job is also quite good. A few tips to make this piece POP would be: In the places I circled here the lighting does not quite match the background. I would say you should darken the tail a bit more, but add some brighter highlights in. With the mane and neck area it appears to be a bit washed out. I would suggest bumping up the contrast here and drawing in some lighter highlights in the mane. I would also try to add some highlights to the neck area that follow the sun's rays. This would blend the lighting on the horse with the BG nicely. Other than this you could add a few more highlights to the face are and do one final sharpen on the horse itself. Lovely job here Pheonix. :D Pricing wise I would start with an SB of 25k to allow for bidding. Make the AB somewhere around 150k to encourage people. When auctioning an image always keep in mind that people are looking to spend more on custom images and less on premade images therefore you have to carefully price in order to secure some ebs. Starting with a low SB and ending with an AB that you would like, yet is reasonable is safe way to go. Keep in mind though that you should always set your SB at the lowest you are willing to sell the piece for.
Thank you that was very helpful!

That's gorgeous Diamanté! If you're looking at auction prices I'd say SB if 5K and AB of 70k to encourage de bidding. I'd say people would pay a fair bit for that ;)

Stunning peice oak! It's late so I don't have the nwrgy to do paragraphs so I'll just do some pints 1. Love the hair technique! Try working on the shape and shadow, work on studying hair for better end result 2. Don't do highlights as white, unless you use a blending layer such as soft light, try using light blue and smoothing the lines so they don't look as unnatural 3. The eye would have an outline and the puil wouldn't be as big, horses also have eyelids, try defining them more 4.i can't think of anything else right now but overall a very good peic e Oak valley said: Would like a bit of critique on this set please :)

You actually did a super good job with this and I would pay 80k for this relatively easy! The hair isn't stiff or overly stringy, the color of the wings and body of the horse match super well! Because if that the eye isn't too bright or too dark, and the color change for the blaze is really good. You can ever so slightly soften its edges a little bit but it's not bad at all. I like how you were able to kinda misty/foggy/snowdrifing whatever you wanna call it down at the bottom, it looks fairly natural and not out of place. Good job! i do think the background could be slightly more blurred, the horse still has a lot of detail, and so do the wings, but the background looks a little more crisp than the horse like it's ever so slightly out of focus but that may also be a preference thing!
