Description 2011 Progression Piece.
Original: [link]
A year and a half on...
I thought it might be a nice (ego-boosting) idea to re-try a piece from a while back, to see how I have improved.
I chose my piece Caledonia because I always thought it was a lovely composition - my skills just weren't quite good enough to bring it to it's full potential. Hopefully this attempt is a bit closer.
There are a few things I need to fix up, but I have been staring at this for so long, and I am actually really happy with it.. So I couldn't wait until morning to put it up.
Critique, please.

This is amazing.
If anything were to need improvement the wings and the horse are just a little different in color - but that is just being picky.

versipellis-xo [2011-01-15 06:14:26 +0000 UTC]

pretty! (not a premium member) but, the wing's seem too pale, try and match the color up with the horses solid-looking color
