I am left so curious as to how and why! Great thought provoking image. I also like the texture of the trees. And really, the balance is quite impressive!

What a pretty animal! A different angle may give this more punch, but this is a nice picture anyways.

This relates to what you did this weekend how? Sire it is a semi--humorous picture, but DNMC=1

edit;
After looking at the photo again, I can see how this could fit into your weeknd. If you went bowling in the middle of the street on a drunken Saturday I could see how something like this could happen. I do however still feel that you tried to shoehorn and interesting photo into the challenge. Taking all of this into consideration I am raising my orginal DNMC=1 to a 5.

I give you "Snaps" for courage, My Friend! However, I've been here long enough to know the prevailing opinion about photography. Avante Garde ART is frowned upon & given low marks. Meeting Challenge INTENT is required for good scores. (This photo, for example, has no person hidden in the picture...that I can see. The horse is your subject right. If so, you will probably be getting alot of DNMC's because the intent was to hide a person in the photo.) Finally, muted & dark pastels don't score as high consistently as vibrant, but not overly-saturated colors.
Much success to you in the future! Feel free to check out my profile after the challenge closes to see that I have made all these mistakes & learned from them. Hard lessons, but Little is Learned in Life without a 'Hard Lesson'! :)

would've liked a little more saturation

Great capture of the eyes, the only thing that detracts is the over-saturation on the top head feathers
