I wanted to make a dream like photo, where light and the lightness of it, capture a moment in time. A certain amount of post-processing time was used to achieve this. I hope someone likes it.

I really like the "painterly" feel of this, it's perfect for the scene. This would be a great greeting card. The composition, the light, the softness, the whole overall mood of this is just lovely.
In general, using the rule of thirds to compose the focal point results in a more pleasing shot and I think it would have helped here. Unfortunately, the outfits are getting lost in the background which is giving this shot a touch of "floating head" syndrome. You've captured mood beautifully, though.
my first reaction was to just click through this photo giving it a 4 or 5, because of its processed feel, but on second glance i love the mood that it creates, more of a 2-dimensional canvas of shapes, textures, and colors. the title perfectly fits the mood this photo creates. 10
