What I admire most about this piece is the affection Applejack feels from Rarity. Typically, I don't imagine someone fixing your hair from behind as something that is THAT intimate, but if I were deeply in love with the person that was doing it, I would be blushing just as hard. You feel how struck Applejack is from the wholeheartedness of Rarity; you feel how warm it's making her feel inside. That's what makes it so charming. The solid white background could also be symbolic of their relationship. It's kind of similar to whenever Gumball and Penny are about to kiss, and they are suddenly seen in space, where they are the only two people around. That same concept can be applied here. Because they are engaging in such a confidential moment, nothing else around them matters, which explains why Applejack and Rarity are the only two ponies in this moment. The overall technique is very nice, as well. I especially love the lighting in this one, looking as if someone is shining a stage light in front of the two mares. Oh, and this is just a side note, but Rarity looks relatively cute wearing Applejack's hat on her head, and her hair tie around her hoof! She should draw some inspiration from that style! Anyway, this is all around a good piece. I don't really have much to criticize here. I guess maybe add a little more frilliness to Applejack's chest, and raise her cutie mark more on her flank, but other than that, I don't have any objections to make. Keep up the great work, Ramott!
