Great posts!

I was impressed with yours Danny....way back then

I Love looking at horses, especially when they are roaming free in lovely meadows! Am enjoying all the renditions. I can't say just what all it took to come up with this rendition -- I was experimenting with Fragment, Facet, along with the sharpen/aniso and layer mask painting, and inverting, and ...

You "caught me" while I was changing versions -- I didn't like the way the first one looked, so I took off a couple of layers and uploaded that one in its place.

Bumped this one up again for your benefit.
Danny you never disappoint me, well, almost never this one's fabulous. Looker's is great! Neve, yours is too. Actually so are the others.
Mine was done with first define pattern and the pattern tool i used was the chalk brush, layer mask created on a fill white layer, painted with chalk brush, and finally impressionist filter chalk sketch.

Great Picture and I didn't want to "artz" it up, but thought a mask and border might be nice.

Did minor color corrections to reduce the yellow some and liven up the grass.
