Default Girl and her horse

Thinking about getting this printed up as one of my sample pics, but wanted to get some feedback first. My main concern is the white fencing she is walking down. Is it distracting from the image? Should I try and clone it out. Anything else wrong with the image? Any and all critiques are welcome.

I like the feel and mood of the image. That was captured well. My concerns are the blown out portions on the horse and the grass. Anytime you mix bright light and shade in a shot you're going to have challenges. Don't know if burning them a tad will help?

Also, I don't know if that's a slope but the shot appears to be uneven.

If you could have captured her and the horse between the two trees in the background it would have made for a good natural frame. It feels like there's more space to the right than needed. I would have cropped it closer.

You're on the right track.

lots of stuff going on in that pic...so much so that it lacks focus and intent. I would say there might be a better one to pick and showcase...
Like pnwguy states areas are blown out, the open area on the left calls for attebntion, the fence as you point out, the relative size of the horse and rider could be a little bigger to give them emphasis. but the deal killer is the blown out highlights
