Wonderful scene - love that the little one is watching you.

I think in your effort to boost the details and color intensity of your shot, you ended up severely pixelating the image. This is especially noticeable in the coat of the horses - there is the classic green and pink pixel noise that is a red flag for 'overprocessed'. I think this is what really cost you significantly.

The scene itself is serene, but the location really does not draw us in or make us want to linger. The light is harsh (as if taken mid afternoon). You would be better to back and visit this spot late in the afternoon or early in the morning to get the rich soft light on the trees.

You also have some significant processing issues - blown out clouds, muddy sky, blurry details.

I think your entry is engaging and shows some great faces, but it shows more the 'after the game' rather than the action of the game. For that, I think it was voted low.

i am thinking more a decrescendo...but maybe I am looking at the trees when I should be looking at the sky.

What a beautiful spot. It has been about 25 or 30 years since I have last been here. Thanks for sparking some great memories.
