Wow! Wonderful use of natural lighting. Effective silhouette of horse in the background. An all around great photo. One of my favorites so far. Good luck in the challenge. 10
You have a lovely photo here. The natural light is outlining the distant objects and causing the nearer objects to glow. The very oof rider in the bg strikes a dramatic pose in contrast to the soft and contemplative figure up front. I would rather have a tad less grass in the fg (in front of the subject), but it is a small quibble.
