I see shadows!
I like the darker tone, it's different from your usual friendly colouration. I also agree with others that the reflection came out well indeed; one can really see that it's water.
As for critique, I have two things; first thing is perspective; I feel the back legs are simply not placed right; either they are too close together (which looks like it would tip poor Gaeva over on her side), or the back legs should simple end a fair bit further down. I know there is some forshortening, but ... well something doesn't look right there.
Second is the light. Whereas the shadowing is generally very good, I'm wondering where all that light on her back legs, tail and front legs come from? I can possibly buy that there is a high bright moon outside the frame of the picture, which accounts for the manes and maybe the front legs, but the back legs are lit almost parallel to the ground, suggesting Blackback stands out-of-frame lighting her dramatically with a flashlight.
Critique apart, I like this, the hairy chest looks good I think, gives her a more "wild" feel. Something to keep for future images of her, definately.

The shadows are taking over the light!! Heh, I wanted to do something with real contrasts, so nighttime again seemed like a good option.
I know about the backlegs, or at least, I had a lot of trouble positioning them. I thought I had them more or less in the right spot now, but I agree that something feels off there still.
As for the light, the moon was supposed to be in the background sky, but then before coloring I changed it's position to be more towards us, to the right (her left), and out of our view. Not above her, but close. Some of that light would come from the moon then I would think, and I figured from the water reflecting it as well? Then again, I wouldn't put it past one of her fans to be standing to the side with some extra lighting for some flattering highlights
Thanks for the comment, Griatch! ^_^

Thanks! ^_^ It seems that in order to work with contrasts I need the moonlight somewhere in a pic...
