Liked the comp. with the horses in a line. Tried different crops, to get the fence line out of the center, but I just ended up thinking in this case, just looked better as is.
Tritone, did a color dodge layer and a hard light layer, both with opacity dropped to about 15%, curves with a very dramatic inverted S curve and a levels adj, both with opacity slightly dropped. Oh, and a little usm too.
I agree with kearock - I'd crop some of the grass out, but my goodness, this is a terrific shot with the very "negative space" aspect of the horses being somewhat backlit, and parts of them blending into the background. Also love the color treatment - it suits the photo well.
The grass just seems to be a little too bright for my taste. I keep looking at the grass instead of the horses. Perhaps if you could make the grass a little closer in darkness to the light tree on the left hand side of the picture? That fence post seems to be a little distracting as well. I don't know, just my thoughts after looking at the photo for a few minutes. I do indeed like the line of the horses and the saturation tone that you used.
