Oh my, the sheer misery in Alba's face is deadly heartbreaking. She looks so miserable and ashamed, even "broken" with one wing fallen as she hunches forward. Cobalt looks quite thoughtful as he works but also a tad distressed himself for not being able to console her much. Also, I'm really impressed that he can use the razor so dexterously with his wing. The messed up mane and especially the rose-tangled locks on the floor add to the angst of the scene.

It's all very evocative and lovely. Again, great work on the ponies themselves and the backgrounds look fantastic too. Also, nice touch with the razor and her locks coming out of the frame.
