Greetings from the Critique Club -
I will begin by saying that you have some beautiful scenery to be working with up there. Unfortunately there are some issues with this shot.
First off - the shot is soft overall. A sharper focus on a horse would have been nice. I realize they are all running but separation between the middle two would have been good as well. If you were able to find them spaced in a more balanced way the shot would have been more effective. The colors are a bit flat as well. Upping saturation on blues and greens may have increased the background colors without affecting the colors on the horses much at all.
As far as meeting the challenge it may have been a bit of a stretch in my opinion. A side angle on the horses allowing you to se ethe hooves more may have brought it closer.
Looking at your portfolio you have some very nice shots. The man and horse series are beautiful. It can be hard shooting for challenges especially in basic editing mode. Keep going at it and your scores will go up as you grow and learn.
