<div style="text-align: center;">Hey guys, this is my first manip and I would like some constructive criticism please. <div style="text-align: center;">Don't worry about being to harsh, I want to know the truth. <div style="text-align: center;">This was all done in GIMP. Credits on image.

Where did the background come from? You'll need to credit it.

Honestly I don't think it's all that bad, it's pretty good but a shadow and some more shading to really blend the horse with the background would make it even better. And this is just personal preference but maybe a theme that would go better with the name cause when I saw "Monster" that kinda slapped me in the face xD

You could make the horse a tad bit bigger, and draw out the tail more. Some stray hair always make it look more realistic. Also try to match the lights, Your horse has backlight but it's still bright on the side where supposed to be shadows. Otherwise for a first manip it looks great.

<div style="text-align: center;">I honestly don't remember So I'm not going to use it here or anywhere else. I understand the crediting rules, but for the life of me I can't remember where I found that background. I do know it's a stock image though.

<div style="text-align: center;">I know, I just used a name of one of my horses. Obviously something spooky would go better for a horse named monster. Thank you for the feedback!
