Herding Horses

I've finally had time to process more of my photos from my recent photo tour to the Camargue in southern France.  We had six photo shoots with the famous white horses of the Camargue, which have evolved a unique ability to thrive in swampy conditions, including wide hard feet and the ability to actually graze UNDER WATER!  Here two "gardians", as they call the Camargue cowboys, lead horses through an estuary at dawn.  Canon EOS 6D, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM at 32mm, Manual exposure of1/1000th at f/22, ISO 400.

I like the light you caught in this image.  But, is there too much going on here?  You have objects in the foreground which draw attention, the horses and riders, and then the sun and clouds.  And the reflections.  Maybe you can experiment with different compositions to bring more attention to the horses.  Thanks for sharing.
