"Mystique"

Mystique is a  beautiful auburn gelding kept by friends in upstate NY. We were fortunate to spend a few days with them last fall.
He was in a field of wildflowers, so I used watercolor, sketch, and paint filters to re-create the illusion of the wildflower colours.

Great example of Photo Art. No nits at all. Sandy, Will you be posting a wider angle photo of Mystique in the wildflowers? Huh?

My first impression when I looked at the image was that looks like a water color painting. Well done.
