Me too, first image. Without the fence post the picture falls apart.

The fence post is yellow and I thought quite distracting. I debated between cloning it out and desaturating it. I decided on the latter thinking it can add as it points towards the horses too in addition of the leading lines.

A good decision.

Thank you.

This an example where a zoom was helpful, zooming with your feet was not very practical.
First was shot at 83 mm equiv, second at 300 mm equiv.
