Cropped, noise reduction, histogram, brightness/contrast, USM.
Extra Info:
Liked to crop off an electric pole from the right side and leave part of the trees. Happily there was somebody playing with a mobile phone in the left side to give asymmetrical balance to the composition. An other thing was that the movement of the sleigh was away and the walking person was moving out of the picture.

An interesting candid but everyone seems to be turning away from the viewer so I don't feel engaged.

Balance of the composition is OK, but everyone (the horse included) facing either away from the camera or out of the frame tends to pull the viewer's eye the wrong way.

You managed to balance this image, even with some colours e.g. Red and Purple. I am not sure you focal point worked. I assume your main focal point was the horse and carriage, however the man on the left being in the foreground take a lot of priority. Now is is not necessarily a bad thing, it is just the man is so close to the tree (and dominant tree cage), that from a object perspective they blend into 1 object which distracts from a interesting focal point. Plus the man is also out of focus and his face is slightly blown out. So in summary a well balanced photo, but the focal points and subject is letting this image down.

Well, you have two apparent subjects and the sight lines for each are pulling in different directions, so a bit of a confusing image. It doesn't work for me.
