Rick, a very lovely and sweet scene.... The colors and tones are wonderful. On my monitor, this appears over-sharpened... making a potentially dreamy scene a bit harsh. I might like to see a blured/orton effect layer added on top with some selective masking/bluring. A well seen image.

I agree and this is unsharpened version. Thanks for commenting Marc.

Beautiful image. The addition of the child adds another dimension to it which I really thinks helps put it into perspective and gives it a sense of scale. Nice job.

This has a really wonderful sweet mood to it.

Unsharpened is heaps better.

Love this composition Rick. This is one of those images where the inclusion of a person means everything. Graham

Real fine scene. Great color and the girl adds a lot. Definitely prefer the unsharpened version.

Well done with the unsharpended version. Nice field of flowers but the addition of the girl and even the color of her dress are nice touches that really elevate this scene.

Beautiful scene! I like the repost a lot! I remember my parents taking me to a similar field when I was little!

Pretty much agree with the other comments, on this one; unsharpened much better.

The little girl brings the whole thing together.
