Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter

this one, i have similar suggestions to my last critique:
1. i would add a little more high/low lights to the mane and tail. just use black set on maybe 50-70% opacity and really hit the areas of shadow.

2. pick a light source. find a place for the light to come from and make shadows and highlights accordingly. i see you have a little shadow in front of the horse here, suggesting the light is coming from behind (either that or those rocks are just a little dark). i would darken the shadow a bit where it is closer to the horse (near the hooves) and definitely add shadows to the horse on THIS SIDE of the body. add some white (opacity 30%, soft light with white color overlay set to low opacity) to the rump and perhaps some to the backs of the ears and curve of the mane. also, it's always good to just add relevant lighting to the background to help things run smoothly. (lightening/darkening parts of the hills or highlights in the stream)

3. the end of the tail looks a little odd. the way his legs are suggest that his feet are lower than the rocks, but the tail seems to just lie across the rocks as if it they were level with the horse and his hooves. also, you seem to suggest he is standing in water. i'd put a slight reflection.

everything else was excellently executed. i loved the concept and his markings look perfect. great work on the eyes, mane and tail painting and the mist from his nostrils. looks very natural. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
GOOD LUCK! :3
