>>3295586>I had quite a nice spread on the histogramyou might want to think about this for a bit.
most of your image is the bright sky, while the horse (which i assume is the subject) is a smaller part.
what you really want is a balanced histogram _for your subject_. you can check this in photoshop by selecting your subject, the histogram will adjust.
pic related is the histogram for the horses' face in your photo.
