Cute title but the composition could use a little work.

Lovely horses. Wish the fence wasn't there, or that you could have leaned over it to get those beauties...

Nice shot, the image may have been more effective by drawing closer to your subject and thus removing the gate from the foreground.

You should have straighten the picture up and moved maybe a bit to the right.

Wow, this is a great setting - the trees, the coloured covers and particularly the warmth of the shelter colour. I don't think it's scoring well and that would be just a matter of composition. The gate is a huge distraction. I now you can't pose horses and stuff but the potential is so high for a strong shot here, lets just fantasise for a minute. To score well you need more than just a snapshot, you need to identify the 'hero' subject and then place it in the frame and work around the best resulting composition. The hero here is probably the group of amigos so you need to get them on a thirds line or intersection without the gate. The highish angle you've taken from diminishes the horses instead of features them ... so there's lots of stuff would make a difference. I'll be interested to follow up when voting is done.

The reflection of the foliage in the water is very nice. Unfortunately That's it. The fisherman is out of focus. The 3 branches in the foreground are distracting. There is a lot of un-remarkable area on the right. It looks as though some of the rocks are blown out or just about to be. His vest, shirt and cap seem to be a bit over exposed. The colors are very nice as is the strings contrast with the picture.

This is OT but I would like to tell you the photo in your portfolio "too late to play" is amazing.

Needs a bit faster shutter. The twigs in the foreground are a distraction. A flatter perspective of the subject could help put the fly fisherman in perspective.

Overall softness to this image spoils it for me
