The original photo was fairly basic, but I thought I could improve it. PP includes background motion blur, curves, dodge n burn, convert to grayscale. No contrast adjustment. I added a drop shadow to the horse layer hoping to bring more attention to the horse. I felt the original had too much color, thus the conversion. I wanted the focus to be more on the horse. C&C appreciated.

    Nice result there Daniel, may I ask why did you choose not to use Contrast?
