You have captured a beautiful atmosphere here with these Camargue horses. Although these beautiful animals roam freely much of the time they are considered to be semi feral, which could be termed as semi domestic, and so are really on the verge of eligeability for this wildlife competition. But, let’s not disqualify this photo for that reason and have a serious look. Nice light and landscape, nice horses, good composition and you have created a lovely winter feel of this south of France region. The problem is that these animals have been beautifully photographed so often and in very dramatic fashion that your photo for a wildlife theme is just a little boring, the horses are nice but they are just standing around and don’t give us the excitement or originality you see in this round’s winner and marks of excellence. You obviously have the skill to take nice landscape photography, perhaps you should give that competition a go too. :-)
