My two horses picking on each other in the paddock...taken on an overcast day...the hard part was stopping them from walking over to me and the camera. It took a long time for them to ignore my presence and a camera in their faces. I cloned out a water bucket and small rock in background..used levels, gaussian blur on image, unsharp mask, brightness/contrast, shadow/highlight and crop.

I like this concept & composition. I little more sharpness on the horses and a little more contrast in the background would have really improved this image, IMO.
I am not fond of the PP on this one at all, by all means correct me if I am wrong but didn´t you blur out the backround afterwards? Anyway, if you didn´t it still looks very wierd (I am still talking about the blur), especially that line around the top of the horses head to the right. Also the lighting seems a bit flat, it could use a boost in contrast IMHO. The composition is nice though and I see at as beeing on topic. 5 from me.
I'm not sure this works quite so well within the challenge..it looks more like kisses to me. To make the shot a little more vibrant, you might try adding a little more contrast and brightining it.
