This is a technically nice photo, but I find it a bit uninteresting. I think you meant for the water to be the "leading line" here, but my eyes are drawn to the fences instead.

the lines don't seem to lead anywhere.

COMPOSITION
I really like the silhouette on the left bottom. It gives an anchored feeling to the shot adding to the stability, I think. I think, since the upper rays weren't as noticeable, I might have cropped them out.

TECHNIQUE
Wonderful use of the available lighting. I have tried many times to "capture" rays like this, and though I have come close to getting them, I have done nothing this effective. I like the warmth of the sky in the background, and again, the silhouette adds to the picture. The sky seems a bit grainy or noisy, especially towards the top, so again, cropping that section may help.

OVERALL EFFECT
This is an awesome shot, very well composed and executed. It has a peaceful/serene feeling to it and is very pleasant to look at. I think you have met the challenge, and done it in a creative, effective way.

Great reflection. The leading line is suddle, but I feel it meets the challege. Maybe if you cropped out the fence on the lower right corner. Good luck.

I think it is interesting that the lines in this shot lead the eyes one way (right to left with back fence) then the other (to the right with the edge of the water and horses) back to the left with the different color of water, and then they rest, somehow on the white part of the fence in the lower right. In my opinion, maybe cropping that little piece of fence out would let more attention to to the horses.

Not sure if the fence was suppose to be the line, but the waters edge works better. Great capture of the reflections. dropping the exposure some would darken it up a but and allow there to be some richer colors

This is a very good, well balanced picture. I really like the reflection of the horses in the pond. Your leading lines do not lead me to the subjects though. They only seem to be a backdrop. Besides the fact that it doesn't seem to satisfy the theme, I like your picture alot.

The lines to not enhance the image. The hoses are in the center and I see them just fine. Maybe have them offset and take the shot from more to the right and a lower angle (but I see that pesky fence over there.
