Fernando,
Thanks for confirming about the halo. For the horse, I actually like more
tree to be included, perherps 2/3 of the tree. Without the tree the horse
looks very loony :-)
BTW, I think it is better to convert the profile to sRGB before uploading.
The horse picture looks even better under the right color spec.
