Very interesting idea. I see it as a beast of burden greeting someone who looks burdened himself. I wonder if it's a bridge of mortality or an embrace of a troubled soul. I believe the latter, as animals can be this generous and loving.
This guys is walking with head hung low. Maybe he is imagining himself as a donkey. Maybe the great white donkey spirit is haunting him. I like the the two images together. Very thought provoking.
It looks like a harsh, windy day judging by the walker.. and now he has that huge donkey to deal with.. or horse. Every digital art image tells a story. ;-)
i really like the expression on the horses face .. or is it a donkey .. combined with the way the person is walking towards it ..
you have taken me by surprise with your photos in this side challenge .. as you had said you would take a year .. at least to get some ability in photoshop .. thats what i remember anyway ..
so seeing what you have created so far .. in a year .. i think you will be creating masterpieces .. !! .. :)
