I agree with Linda about the arms being in a confusing position. It looks like the two half-arms are somehow connected.

Also, this seems to be a very nice portrait of a horse with, oh by the way, a girl standing next to it. The horse is very much the focal point of the portrait. Not sure if that was the intention, but I suspect most clients would want the person to be the center of attention in a portrait commission.

It's nicely painted, though. Quite often what we choose to paint -- the pose, the composition, the lighting, etc -- has more to do with the success of a painting than how we paint it, however.
