While I'm sure this scene was very nice to behold in person, it has lost a lot in transition to this photo. Lighting is overly bright, the tree branch hanging down in the upper corner is a major distraction, the background is too clear and distracting due to clutter, and the pose of the horses isn't particularly exciting, what with one being half hidden by the other, so we're just presented with it's behind (and not in any real artistic manner either).

Perhaps you were stuck shooting this from behind a fence, or had some other barrier, I don't know, but another angle was definitely needed for this to be a real contender in a Free Study, especially so soon after having a "horses" challenge, which have saturated the voters' views of horses for the time being.

The light doesn't add to the shot, it in fact makes what we are to focus on harder to see

Nice composition, but needs more focus and a tighter crop to bring it to life

i love how you captured the tail in motion, but maybe a different crop would have helped this in my opinion
