Composition There is too much background in this shot and because it is beautiful it is distracting! It would have been better to have zoomed in on the horses or stood to one side and got the horses side view on.
Camera work The whole shot is slightly out of focus and a bit soft. I Know motion blur can work but this is not motion blur.
Digital processing A bit of usm might help but be careful of affecting the colours try changing to lab colour and sharpening on the lightness channel, then change back to jpeg.Not sure if this is allowed under the rules, but it doesn't have as much impact on the colour of the image.
My Opinion A very nice shot that didn't quite come off.

If/since you're not able to get closer, I'd crop some off the top (near the top of the trunk of the rightmost tree) putting the hillcrest at about the 1/3 point from the top, and helping to focus attention on your subject.

Too easy.

The whole pic looks a little blury.

Obviously these are not easy to set up, but this would have been SO much stronger if you could have zoomed in to capture the lower left section of the shot. Good effort :-)

the focus could have been better, I think a side view of the horses would have looked better for this challenge too.

I would have cropped this a bit more or tries a closer shot of the horses....good attempt.....5

Very pretty. Good composition, good color, good action . The focus is too soft. My guess this is handheld. The shake. Would of been better if crisp. That is the only negative thing I can say the rest is very good.

maybe would have better captured motion if the horses had been running from left to right as opposed as towards you

I might like to see a tighter crop on this photo.
