I like #2 not that I DISLIKE #3 but it's more challenging to edit, for me at least...  No doubt the maestro will come up with an amazing edit...

A minute or so in Photoshop, cropped, set levels (auto) and removed some distractions.  I tried to retain the tall conifers in the background.  Could probably extract more but it's a nice pic with the misty distance.

I will wade in with the last image.

Gardening and exposure.

The composition is very good. The problem is the accoutrements that intrude ...not only masking detail but distracting from the graphic composition.

I accept that it's not always possible to remove stuff when shooting on the fly. But if you are intentionally setting up that image you need to garden the surroundings beforehand. That applies whether it's blades of grass across a fungus or garden seats in front of the subject. 

Some of the intruding detail can be cloned out (albeit some with difficult) but you can't re create the ladies legs!

Whenever I was photographing machinery on locations in scruffy workshops I paid particular attention to anything in front of the subject. The background and surroundings can always be modified ....but a dustbin or cable obscuring a complex machine contour could be a disaster to correct.

Lose these encircled areas and you've got a strong graphic image.  Oh and trust the camera on 0 exp comp. You had it -0.7. I've pulled the horse back by + 0.3 and it's still a tad under exposed.

I've cloned and cropped the detail at the extreme right and left of the image and shown the problem of having masked detail (ladies legs) you cannot make up. Horse head increased by +0.5 exp comp...rest could be done also.  The graphic effect of the image starts to be revealed....imho

YES Graham... I know my cloning is cr*p ...but I was just roughing it through to demonstrate the point. :lol:
