What a difference the lighting makes.

I have been working on the trailing. I must say that I find it quite difficult to keep it smooth and shiny. Only practice will improve it I suspect. I have started on the eyelets which means that you can finally tell that this is an Appaloosa! 

I have put in two photographs designed to show different things. The first is a shot using normal lighting.

The next one uses side lighting, which highlights the trailing.
