Nice photo but I have to agree with Ken. there is a focal point with no object. try putting one of your horses in the center or similar. I hope you don't get mad but its basically a nice photo of your back yard. ;).....JJ
It is all about having a central point of interest. The eye goes straight to the white central patch of snow, but unfortunetly there is nothing happening in there. If snow itself is to become a centre of attention, then that snow needs to show its' texture, but here the whites are just too burnt out. However, if you did not mind making the scene into a "false" one, then all you have to do is to clone one of the bushes into the empty space, thus joining up the right and left hand sides, and making the image into a very acceptable landscape. It is not about "lying" - it is all about taking an image that one step further to perfection.
