This horse looks like what I feel like whenever I have to be around snow. Does he look happy, does he look warm, and do you think he would rather be somewhere else like a nice warm barn? Have you ever seen a photograph of horses on a sunny beach running through the surf? They always look happy.
This photograph captures the mood of winter. The defoliated trees in the background and the posture of the subject tell the story that spring is a long way off. This is a photograph where a little information goes a long way.
The photographer may want to consider cropping just a tad, perhaps by taking a little off the top to remove the fence in the distance and some off the left hand side to get the subject further away from the center of the image.

Very good exposure, but not an especially strong image, nevertheless something serene about it.
