Pure And Simple - [AUDITION]

Description

-Edit- Just polishing up some lighting I forgot to fix before I uploaded xp

Entry for the second round of auditions at EquineGraphix. I must admit, I was rather disappointed when I saw that the theme for this round was "purity." There's really not a whole lot you can do with a theme like that, and after toying with the idea of a white horse being overwhelmed by blackness for several hours (I went through 6 stock images for the horse alone) I gave it up and decided that "pure and simple" was the way to go. I spent a lot more time on the detailing and the technical aspects this time, and I think it really paid off. The mane is the best I've ever painted by far, and I'm just really pleased with the image as a whole. This was my first time working with water that involved actually painting the splashes and adding a reflection, and I think they turned out okay, though I would really love to get some feedback on how to improve them. 

Also, please download just to look at the eye. IT'S SO PRETTY!! XD

Merry Christmas!
