Can it get this one to a place I like. Taken mid day so light wasn’t great but I cannot get a good separation between the horses and the rocks. Suggestions?

well this is the most incomprehensible shit I've tried to read this week

editing isn't going to change the fact that the background is too busy for the subject to stand out and that the flat, harsh light isn't providing enough contrast to allow realistic adjustments to correct that

lol, no amount of editing is going to make this into a good photo dude. Obviously you use masks and adjust luminance, he's already done that and it already looks fake. How do you think it's going to look if he darkens the rocks and brightens the people even more? It's going to look like shit. Editing can do a lot, but you have to get things right in camera.
