Great choice for the overall texture; it reminds me of the way sandstone feels. The pose is dynamic, the colors work wonderfully, and this really captures the scene overall. The first time I saw the episode, I had a feeling Maud was going to save Pinkie, but I really did not expect this to happen!



My only note would be that there is a strange lack of tension in Maud, making her seem almost floaty. I am trying to pin down the cause of that impression, but the closest I can figure is that the point of contact on the rock for her outstretched forehoof seems to not be there. I know it is obscured by the dust, but if it was visible it might have more impact on the viewer by showing the hit. I could be wrong, though.



Keep up the good work!
