Critiques would be nice, thank you

Yang, I liked the caustics. It gave a magical feel to the piece and suggested a shaft of light was lighting something just ahead of him as if he saw something cool. I also liked the first version you had. Google , "Boat Caustics". If you decide to keep that element, make sure you have water at the base. That is light reflecting back up past the ripples. Try to sneak in some warm accents where you can. Lastly, you can work the front leg some more to make it look like it is planted forward on the ground. It is a bit flat because you placed the brightest value on very right side of the calf.

Edit- The caustics from a blue flame would also work and you wouldnt have to put water on the ground.
