Since you don't get all of the horse's legs anyway... I think you might have cropped tighter here for a more impactful image. Also looks a bit light to me.

good colors, but I find myself wishing for more contrast and definition.

I'd love to see this during sunrise or sunset to get some nice shadows amongst the trees. Without that, it looks a little too flat.

The saturation on the greens is good, but I would like a bit more vibrant colors in the yellows/oranges. They come off a little flat against the vivid greens. Score: 6.

There is only a subtle composition in this image, nothing really striking. The colours are nice but not outstanding. It needs something more, but I'm not sure the subject really has that much potential

"Feeding time" is an great addition into the Country Life challenge. The image is so full it is bound to grab peoples attention. I think the shots biggest disadvantage is its size, unfortunately in this contest size does matter. I think a lot of people really do just lower their score based on if the size was to small.

The image itself is very interesting. I think using the fence as a frame works, you might try to make it a little more level. Also step away from the shot just a little, I understand that maybe if you stepped back another foot you might loose the tight boarder and end up with some empty space which I wouldn't recommend. It just seems like it needs a little more balance. The deep color of the horse is an excellent contrast between the snow and him/her. Good work.

Like the way the fence has been composed to frame the horse. I would just crop the bottom out more to balance off with the top. The other thing that doesn't help is the size of this image which diminishes the impact of his eyes even though they seem to be the main subject here.
