Initial thoughts
Vivid, striking, interesting reduced colour palette.

Composition/ Content
Great symmetry though overall image seems just a little unbalanced to me – perhaps that there is more space to the left than to the right or the heavier presence of red in the leaves at the top left.
I like the desaturated background and heavily saturated blossoms idea – looks quite unusual to have no greens here.

Background
I think it̢۪s a shame that the top left area of the background has reds left in it whereas the bottom right is completely b/w. That adds to the unbalance for me.

Camera Work - Technical
Looks fine/

Digital Processing - Technical
Seems too sharp to me, but that may just be me.

Fits The Challenge
Yes!

My Opinion On The Photo
Striking and attractive. Composition isn̢۪t one of my favourites but does add interest.

I would have liked to see a tighter crop of the man tending to his horse with the buggies in the background, or perhaps the horse over to the right, with the buggy out of focus. The current composition is too busy.

there's almost too many subjects in this photo, but I really like the wide aspect ratio

when I see these horse coaches :)
Interesting composition and cropping.

Meets the challenge but maybe you could have got in closer and concentrated on one horse and cart.

I really like the long crop you did for this, I wish it were a bit sharper.
