Nice work, Adriaan.  Your image evokes a special place.  The brumbies are 
even kicking up that red dust.  I'd like to see some shadows which would 
place the horses with respect to the ground.

Thanks very much Jeanne, you are the second person to mention that, but in 
fact those dark red patches/areas you can see on the ground are shadows 
although they don't look like it.
The problem started when the horses were silhouetted and appeared black 
until I added some more light from the direction of the camera. I also 
turned down the shadows of the sun; maybe just a bit to much.

Thanks for looking.  :-)
