Good shot of these horses. The focus seems to be stronger on the second horse though.. the image could use a bit of sharpening.

lovely fall colors in the background. nice lighting too

Nice. Although the background is the same color as the subject, it works because of the shallow dof. The lighting looks good too.

good capture, but has much color noise due to oversaturation. a square crop might be more balanced.
