    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Beautiful scene, excellent exposure and DOF

    a few comments ...
    I would liked it to be a bit farther away, there are cut elements on both sides, I do not know if this can be avoided
    The flowers are small and not really sharp, a slightly higher point of view may allow a better view of the houses
    There a is a tiny dark spot in the top right clouds , perhaps a far away bird ?

    Very, very cool. Natural looking. I would like more contrast, but that is just me.

    Points noted armando, I would love an oportunity to reshoot this, thanks for the comments. Btw the dot is a swallow.
    Thanks Daq, I thought of you when posting this and what you might have done with your tone mapping. I haven't got any HDR software yet.

    Pete - I don't think the composition works here. Maybe the angle is too flat, causing the gravestones to merge into the house, and also leaving too much uninteresting space in the foreground. Nice day you had and I like the green. The simple color palette makes it peaceful.
