compliments for "daring" not to oversaturate here on the can-never-be-too poppy DPC... ;-)

Comment by kellyo:
I like the leaves part - nice and crisp. A whole image of those overlapping textures would maybe have been better. The fungi are kind of yucky.

First Impressions
I like the action, but overall the snapshottish feel dominated the photograph more than the moment captured, in my opinion. I gave this a 4 during voting.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
With the image as is, I wonder whether a much tighter crop on the left and bringing their faces into the frame/dominating more may have given this more of an edge. Because some of the colors in the fabrics contribute toward a slight busy feel for this image, perhaps a toning/b&w may have complemented this image. Fairly minor, but looks like it needs a whisker straightening and/or perspective correction.

Would like to have seen sharper focus on the horse.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
15th is good placing, and 6.05 a nice score. An average of 7.0 from your many commenters reflects their sentiments - they all liked the humor in this image.

Summary
As mentioned above, eliminating some of the distractions to allow the 'interaction' to dominate more, make this better in my opinion.
