Mono Monday Fact/Fiction

Many thanks to Phillippa aka ApolloFly for hosting this month's Mono Monday. 

This week the theme is fact or fiction... It is decades since I rode but I enjoyed it when I did. 

I went and bought a model horse and took its photo. 
I selected the subject in PS and tidied it up.
I donned a long tailed jacket, hat and long boots. I took a photo of myself sitting on a kitchen chair using the Joby remote for my phone and the tripod. The I tidied the edges of that.

I used grayscale and B and W options for all layers in LR and PS.

Then I layered one version of this morning's sky as the base, added the horse, then the selected subject of me in my garb and then because the horse looked too plastic I layered anther one from this morning at  35% opacity to soften the whole thing. 


It was fact and it is now fiction
