Well. Wow. what to say? Great image. Super expressions, great energy and a classic bag as subject.

But my eyes keep on wandering to the texture on the background. What is it? Some sort of a designer backdrop. I see patterns of balloons on it and maybe then others too did. Although these patterns enhances the lighting setup you had, it takes away importance on subject as it keeps grabbing viewers eye to it.

I really liked the costume your model is wearing and it really adds a lot more impact to this shot. The yellow for sure has given a lot to this image that after seeing this photo I am forced to think if the colour had been anything else but yellow, it would have taken away a bit of your score.

I however didn't like cropping off a part of her leg towards the left of the photo. Ideally I would prefer the same margin you have kept towards the right onto the left as well.

Well thats my 2 cents.

If you have any questions regarding this comment, please PM me.

Is there any special meaning intended especially for younger members in this photo as probed by Brian?

First impression: Looking at the nose of this animal, I thought this was a type of pony from some very cold region till I read the title.

I like the sepia mood, lighting and the vignetting around the subject as a border.

The photo as such had potential to score a little better score than what you already got. If only you had bent slightly over or were on your knees for this, it would have helped. Photos of animals when taken while standing unless until it is fully grown horse, hippo, zebra or giraffe, it would always appear smaller than it actually is. Trick is to take photo from a point below its eye level or atmost the same height as its eye level.

Pose of the animal is also not very interesting to me. It do not even convey that it is walking especially when the legs are firmly together.

The overexposed left side is making my eyes pain slightly. I guess the photo has a slight blue color cast as well.
