Nice video (I gave it a thumbs up). As far as this frame goes as a stand-alone image, I think I would crop out the horse on the right edge and maybe a bit off the bottom. You might try playing a bit with the contrast too to soften the highlights or to make the difference between the light and shadow even more dramatic.   Posted: 05/13/2022 09:20:56

I agree with Theresa about the cropping. However, I'd crop even more. A tighter crop will bring more attention to the horses. Also, I adjusted the white balance. The green grass seemed a bit too much on the yellow side. Anyway, I did a rough adjustment. See what you think.   Posted: 05/16/2022 19:12:46
