This landscape composite could use more creative choices and conceptual intentionality. The figure and horse are bluntly centered in the foreground of the image, which does not give you any opportunity to engage the depth that exists in the base image. For its part, the base image provides a world of opportunity in a project like this due to the one-point perspective receding into the distance. This is a clear indication of depth that could have been exploited to make for a more complex and integrated final image. Even simply placing the figure further into the distance, scaling it to appear naturally down the path, might have tricked our eye into investigating the image with more sensitivity. In addition, color balancing the figure and horse would have helped to integrate in into the world of the base image as well. I also wondered, with a base image like this, if you would integrate some of the elaborate and exciting textures and patterns created by the curved fencing and organic tree branches. They make such satisfying elements within the base image that they might have been exploited by your creative hand, by possibly clearing and replacing some quadrants, or repeating/stamping/exaggerating some of the patterns into other areas.
