This was done as the main image for a layout. As you can see, I left the information of the resources on the image, so that the stock providers know they were credited.

I think you did a very good job with this. May direct you on some things?

You did a great job with the blending of the hooves into the snow. Your lighting is also done well. However, even though this is a dark picture, you still need some shading under the horse. Also, don't forget about cast shadows on the horse itself. Cast shadows are the shading done on the horse depending on where the light source is. While the light source is very faint, you still have one.

The whole composition is still well done, and you've given proper proportion of the objects present.

Ohh, that makes sense. But the only thing I saw wrong was the shadow cast by the horse wasn't there. I tend to use a soft, fuzzy brush and carefully paint the shading under whatever the subject is. If you don't, make sure you keep the PSD of the art piece so that you can make changes when you want.
