Two things: I realize the focal point is the "touch", but you clipped the feet which is awkward. The BG is pleasing, but with heavy grain. Some selective blurring or noise reduction in the BG would be an improvement.

Hi Chet,
Overall my thoughts on this image echo those of Philip's. I'm not sure if the posted image is full-frame or already cropped, but it might be worth cropping this one tighter to add additional emphasis to the touch and remove the clipped hooves from the equation. If you do this you'd likely have to accompany the crop with some noise reduction as the noise/grain would be even more evident in a tighter crop.
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...nice to see some shots captured on film in here!

The exposure looks perfect. I agree that clipped toes are a little unfortunate.
