Best pony. All who disagree shall be fed to the parasprites.Okay, with that out of the way, on to the critique!In terms of vision, I went with a just above middle-of-the-road rating because busts and/or portraits are fairly common. This is not a reflection of anything bad, just a statement of fact.On originality and impact, I think it is very good. The style is very simple, allowing the subject to stand on its own merit. It also seems to reflect Applejack's straightforward, no-nonsense attitude quite well.The surprised awe in the expression was a good twist. Not something normally done on a portrait. Nice choice. That was the other reason for the 5 stars on originality.
