Photoshopping Blues

Now I can say that Photoshop is a very useful tool but sometimes people just go way overboard! Here are some examples.

http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1370124&share_this=Y (The top picture of this one. WTF? Is his head that small in real life? He looks like a horse on steroids with a tiny neck and head with bulging shoulder and hindquarter muscles.)

http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1345257&share_this=Y (Another picture with fake background. To me this seriously makes you seem very unprofessional.)

http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1346652&share_this=Y (Another Photoshop failure. Fake, fake, fake.)

Now for some Photoshopping that isn't fake and actually makes you look more professional.

Now I know that many of you are probably saying to yourself, what does it matter if the background looks fake and altered looking? It reflects badly on yourself and your farm. Fake, obviously altered photos of your horses in fantasy-like flower covered fields makes you look very unprofessional. Like I said, not only does your stallion need to have some credentials before you even consider breeding him, and have the correct conformation, he needs to shown accordingly!
