Wow, this is great!The colors and shading do come very nicely. Gabby makes for a great contrast towards the CMCs pastel tones. She is clearly the center of the image, as everything points towards her: The CMCs looks, the mountain slopes in the background and even the lines of action in Scootalos and Apple Blooms postures.The background is impressive: high level of detail, great colors and massive mountains that look absolutely convincing. Could be somewhere in the Rockies. The CMC harmonise with the background in color, yet clearly stand apart from it due to the different art style (sharp contours on a soft oil painting background).But the best part are the postures. Dynamic and fluid, they almost look like they were taken straight out of a classic disney movie. Especially Gabby with her whoopy tail reminds me of The Lion King
