horse is nice subject, while the fence isn't. The leaves take too much role here, and it's a bit hard to get autumn feeling just because leaves are quite light.
Beautiful leaves and horse. Not crazy about the tiny string fence that seems to say, "Keep off the grass!" Otherwise, a great photo that deserves high billing.
I believe that if the picture is about the leaves -as the title implies- then the horse has no business in it and there should be a lot more leaves and they should be in focus. But the horse is actually a lot more interesting subject, in my opinion, and if I were to take such a picture, I would zoom in on it a bit closer and try to get some leaves at the top and the righthand side of the frame, if possible, as a nice, little frame.
