Definately one to keep in your portfolio to show how far you have come this past year :) Its all be said in the comments during the challenge so, I'll ask you to go out and reshoot this shot with what you know today!
There doesn't seem to be focal point, or perhaps the weed in the near right center foreground is distracting. Might have raise the camera just a little to get the horizon at 1/3 for better composition.
Can't see the forest from all the trees ... LOL - I would tried to make the green greener and a little less DOF - the one in the front is a bit distracting ... 8
My issue is that the front flowers being blured is distracting to me. It may be that there are too many of them. Otherwise I like the content and the colors.
