A mare and her foal enjoy a nice day of grazing on a farm in Oregon.

The fence is a bit distracting.
Short of magically making the fence disappear, this is a nice photo.
whith the fence gone it would be oof. was the idea to have the fence the focal point?
There is a way to shoot through mesh fences so that the fence does not appear - I have used the method a number of times in crocodile enclosures and emus etc using shallow DOF and longer zoom - if it's OK to post links then you can check here:

Just thought it might be useful. The picture isn't the best for this example and you can use auto focus if you prefer to manual focus like the writer stated
If this contest was for fences, it would have been O.K. apart from the fact that it is a little too dark, IMO
Nice image, very poetic for a farm pictures contest, good luck!
With this Photo I intentionally left the fence in focus, because I felt it added to the affect. I have others without the fence and don't like them nearly as much.
I appreciate the input and suggestions though, thank you!
