One aspect of the picture I appreciate is how Applejack's eyes aren't shown. It works because it forces you to imagine what her face actually looks like. The technical aspects are pretty good, too. The mane and tail actually look like they have multiple strands of hair in them, making it feel like I can truly stroke my hand through them. Of course, the lighting is what shines the most in this picture. It does an impressive job at capturing the pain and desperation that the pony is feeling. In terms of criticisms, I would eliminate the Northern lights at the top. I don't feel as if the viewer should look at something pretty in a piece that's supposed to be melancholy. Also, the light could be less bright as you travel towards the right. Still, this piece is great to look at. It has a believable atmosphere, the placement of objects is clever, and the fact that this is based on an actual event that occurred in your life adds plenty of emotion to it. Overall, it's very well done. Keep up the wonderful work, Jadekettu!
