Liked the comp. with the horses in a line. Tried different crops, to get the fence line out of the center, but I just ended up thinking in this case, just looked better as is.

Tritone, did a color dodge layer and a hard light layer, both with opacity dropped to about 15%, curves with a very dramatic inverted S curve and a levels adj, both with opacity slightly dropped. Oh, and a little usm too.

Nice photo. Like the tones, the fence placement. What I would like better would be a little less brightness. It kind of feels too bright.

I think you did a great job editing this image. I will agree with the others that I would like to see a little of the grass cropped out.

I agree with kearock - I'd crop some of the grass out, but my goodness, this is a terrific shot with the very "negative space" aspect of the horses being somewhat backlit, and parts of them blending into the background. Also love the color treatment - it suits the photo well.

I might crop out a little of the lower grass so it doesn't dominate the horses, but I really like the color and the way the light catches the horses.

The grass just seems to be a little too bright for my taste. I keep looking at the grass instead of the horses. Perhaps if you could make the grass a little closer in darkness to the light tree on the left hand side of the picture? That fence post seems to be a little distracting as well. I don't know, just my thoughts after looking at the photo for a few minutes. I do indeed like the line of the horses and the saturation tone that you used.

Take care,
Dave
