The image is a little flat, needs some work on highlights and contrast.

Great painting, yes. Your interpretation is nice too, maybe as ibmaxed said could have some more highlights. What bothers me a little bit is the composition, everything happens on the left side, in the right corner it's as good as empty. Rest space is important, but since too many things happen on the left side, I expect *something* too on the other.
You changed the position from the horses a bit compared to the painting, which shouldnt be a prob for being an inspiration. What I think works great in the painting is that the horse really deems up from the dark and faces the woman, while the woman tries to be as much as possible with her face to the other side. In your entry, it looks like (or how I see it) as if the horses are looking at the gargoyle, observing what it's doing with the poor woman. Perhaps you should reconsider the position of the horses, but I leave that up to you...
Ow, step 6 is can be nice too for being dreamy, though I would make it less liquified then.
Good luck!

I never thought I'd say it about an entry here, but too light...
The Fuseli image has the objects within "the dark of night." These are all placed within a quite bright and smudgy looking background...

I agree wholeheartledly with Woz, the "flow" of the composition is off. You image starts at the upper LH side with the horses, and runs diagonally down to the darkened RH corner, where the eye essentially "falls off."
The original has a more triangular flow, with the figure grounding the eye's movement, and the gargoyle bringing it back up towards the horse's head.

An interesting homage, tho.

Why not imitate the original composition? Two horse heads? Woman & gargoyle facing the wrong way?

It was good, but I think you should try to give a bit more sharpness to the image! good luck!
