    Very bucolic... and pretty, at that. Personally, I would prefer sharper detail, but that's just me. Very nice shot.

    Rocket Scientist indeed.....wow...just learned a new word today (no joke I looked it up)

    First off....its true....(and to use the new word) it really is very bucolic...Like the colors....

    Something that bothers me though is it somehow makes me feel dizzy.... I'm guessing its level coz of the grass line....which does appear to be horizontal....but all other lines in different directions do tend to make you "feel" as if the image was not levelled...

    Other than that, the location must be pretty relaxing and beautiful...

    Very serene. A lovely site for a picnic.

    On a technical level it seems that the foreground needs a tad of brightning to bring out the detail. Looking at the tree line it looks like something like this has been attempted. There is a little halo around some of the trees.

    J,

    Where is the new version? Should have waited it just came up.

    The halos are now worse but the foreground is fine. I assume you are using a selection. What you need is to apply a feather range of 50 -100 to allow the brightning to merge into the rest of the picture.
