Sab and her new friends

[Rick Nantais]

Last week i did my first model shoot at the ranch. Was supposed to be a sunny day and we got a gray day, no clouds texture at all so I had to use sky replacement. It was her first shoot with horses. She learned she was allergic, lol. So we couldn't shoot for long.

This looks great to me, Sab is really beautiful and has some great poise in her posture. The horses compliment the scene well.

For a pure landscape image I wouldn't replace the sky, but in People Portraits like this I don't think I have a problem with it. It definitely improves the look of the image. It may not totally match the slight shadows on the ground, but a non-photographer wouldn't be looking for those things like we would.
