| Also if you add a layer on top of your horse (again as a clipping mask), blur it so you just have an amalgamation of all the background colours, set it to soft light/overlay at like 30% opacity that helps merge the lighting a bit |

| I second Ash, I'm also happy to send over a photo of where dark lights and highlights should be |

| Yesss thats the problem I'm having with mine! The horse stock was front lit but the background makes it need to be lit from behind 😞🙃 |

| It's really pretty, River! Love how you've done the horses coat colour. As others have mentioned, making it look more like the light is coming from behind would really elevate it. So the horse is a bit darker, with golden light coming from behind their back/tail/mane. If your program allows it, you can achieve that by adding a new layer above the horse, making it a clipping mask, and overlaying some yellow on those bits (blur as needed!) |

| Also appaloosa isn't white. It's very very light grey or pinkish, and becomes white only when direct light hits it. |

| If you look closely, River, the tail is behind both butt cheeks. Maybe try erasing the behind one where the tail touches? I'm not really sure what the fix for that would be to be honest haha |

| Peg It's terrible 😩 I think part of the problem is also the snowflake appaloosa. The horse is half white because of it LMAO |

| Just look at reference, River. Horses actually have tails that hair grows on, and it's placed above the hips. |
| Pegasus Lane |
| Lighting is actually the biggest pain in the butt hahaha I've been seriously struggling with one of my pieces because of it 😅 |

| The tail should be more "attached" to the horse River, It looks like the base is totally on the other side of the hips |
| Sagruesal |
| Also, the light is coming from behind according to your chosen background but horse looks like it's standing under a floodlight. |

| River Tail looks weird. Too smudged, needs more defined shadows. Neck and body is a flat blob. I'd lower the horse and/or draw some grass to blend the horse into the background better. |

| Actually, there's a correlation with one of the splash genes with deafness |
