I have never heard of the Nova filter before. It is interesting and I will certainly Google it to check it out. Your use of filters and stars is excellent and not overdone. I like the colorful rays of the large star in the top right corner. It looks like that light is shining on the horse and creating all the colors on it. It gives the whole picture a lovely fantasy appeal. I like the way the horse appears to be standing in the water and has water extending into the distance past where it is standing. That gives the picture depth in my opinion. There is nothing I can suggest to improve it. It looks excellent to me.

Oh, a rainbow horse. How beautiful. This is just what was missing in Oz until now. I love the star in the sky with the bright one in the right corner. It must be the Star of Oz; it has rainbow rays. The color change at the horse is perfect . The horse still has a lot of detail, just the colors are changed. The rainbow reflection in the water are beautiful! Best luck in the contest.

LOVE it!!!What a nice story, and of course in OZ horses are able to chose any color or all! Thehorse has retained his detail in the coat andface, but become magical with the application of color, and the super night time scene..way creative and great fun! Donkeyoatey

    I have a piece of the film, life size cut outs of the the lion, scarecrow,tinman and the witch!..All my patients and friends over the years gifted me, decided to make a room of it all. it is cough..WICKED! lol
reply by the author on 02-Dec-2012

    OMG! Life size cut outs, how awesome is that?
    My favorite character would be the scarecrow, although if they had Elmira Gulch on her bicycle that would be pretty cool. lOVEd her as the WiCkEd witch! LOL :o)

    I like when she is ELPHABA! the green witch! lol I have he life size on her broom!

    I bet your friends and relatives LOVE visiting YOU. I don't think there was ever a better witch than Margaret Hamilton playing the WiCkeD WiTcH in the Wizard of Oz. I love the fact that she was green too. THere might have been other greem witches but she's the only one I remember and definitely the BEST!
    The fact you have her life- sized as the witch and on her broom is more than Oztasic!
    Thanks for sharing all that info Sange. You brought a smile to my face. :o)
