Hello, BigAl,
The colt is beautifully imaged, but I think the landscape...stretched out ... composition would be improved and the perspective significantly emphasized by moving the colt closer to the cattle in the BG.
Only one image per thread is permitted in this Section, so, if you like, I could send you an example of what I suggest by PM. Let me know if you would like to see it.
Holding off on posting it here unless permission is granted.

With Al’s permission, here is my suggested change.
Reducing the x-axis distance between the colt and the background cows narrows the image a bit, accentuates the depth of the image, and uses well the emphasized depth distortion of the foal that resulted from the short focal length lens setting used in capturing the image.

I prefer the original - which gives the colt a bit more room in the pic - showing the room he has to move about without crowding the cows. I have nothing against square pics - but it just doesn't work so well in your version (MHO).

I prefer the original as well.
You cropped off the left and right edges. The distance between the colt and the cows did not change.
Cropping only increases the apparent focal length. The perspective remains unchanged.

You can see a vertical line down the middle of the second one. Not good for a contest I would think.

So the x-axis separation was changed. I didn't look closely enough.

Phil, this is great. I don't know how you ever got so many animals to cooperate so well!

Excellent! I don't see a need for the space left of the herd or so much right of the colt. I'd consider cropping these out which would bring more emphasis onto the colt (which is beautiful). I doubt you need to worry about "proper" dimensions of the final print. But if you do, you could lose a bit of sky, too. Thanks!

Wrong on all counts, Scotty!

Ah ha! You now see the error of your ways!

The seam was a surprise. Your PP was not skillful.
You should have been able to see that the original is better.

Perhaps you will show us your version, but first you will have to ask the OP permission.

I like the original version. It is properly composed and impactful. I see no reason to mess it up.

That is just an opinion and there are those who differ.

Mess up is a harsh word.
The photo size may not be to everyone's liking, but the fact remains that the shire horse is sharper and we can see the lights in its eyes and lovely detail of the horse's hair. In my opinion, it makes for a better photo.
The OP can have whatever size he/she wants when he prints it for the competition.
