The art is good, but since this is a photography contest... I'm not sure.

Ó halló sæti! Awkward if you're not Icelandic, but hey. This is a very lovely winter portrait of a very lovely Icelandic horse. The blue sky is what makes this a 10 instead of a 9 from me :)

Nice image, your placement of 83% is very good, congratulations!

I only have a couple of issues (being picky here) one is the horizontal line of the road or base of the mountain is slanted down on the right. I would suggest straightening it.
The other one is you have a great crop of the mountain, but the ash cloud is leading the eye right off the right side of the image wheres if it had been on the left or further towards the center it would lead you across the image instead of off of it. This very well may have been intentional or you didn't have another choice, but it is something to think about.

Great job on the highlights they may be clipping but the transition is very smooth and they look really good.

I am also noticing a very slight amount of noise in the sky, I don't know if this is due to PP or compression... Its more grain than pixilation so it may just be the result of sharpening and the vast amounts of volcanic ash in the air ;)

Cheers,
