Critiqueth

[shadow_spinner]

OK, since the site I made this for is giving no help whatsoever, I'm requesting that someone critique me on this? I just started photo manips, I'm still very new, this is about my 4th pic, and it was my first attempt at a texture. Anyway:

And hey, why not, here's another that I also need some help with:

(They're both the same, only one is brighter; I can never decide which one I like better. )

Anyone who critiques (no matter how harshly) will get huggles and COOKIES!!

I absolutly LOVE the wolf, but it is really hard to see the font on the horses!

i really like the wolf one, and it looks all fluid and such

i'd like to see the original pic's you used though, it will be easier to evaluate what you did then.

i didn't change that much to it, it really didn't need it. The stars on top were really fun, I saturated them to 5 or 6 times their original intensity, and found something really pretty underneath. The wolf was a pain, I had to use my pathetic version of the magic wand to cut chuncks out of him, re-paste them, and then smooth them all out so that I could edit the background freely. What a pain. Still, I was lucky that the wolf was in good condition to begin with.

And I used it once for a contest, but the contest seems to have died on meh. So if anyone wants me to zap on a name and anything else, I'd be glad to! I could also change the eyes, the blue eyes and the scar were a special requirement.
