The beginning or the end

Description
At first this was just going to be of the horse because I was in a bit of an art slump, however I decided to make the background because I was on a roll after doing the horse's shading. It just kind of fell into place even though the lighting on the horse is off from the background... It looks like sunset to me but could be sunrise as well.

-- A special note: If your monitor settings are not properly calibrated to see a full range of colors or shades this piece may not appear correctly to you.
