This photo took me soooooo long to prepare that I'm not sure I like it anymore!
Taking the photo was the fun part: I was playing with multiple exposures; with this take, I think, I used 6 multiples, 4 without moving the camera and then 2 tipping the camera to either side.
PP also was fun and pretty straightforward. But then when I saved for web, the colors went totally wonky. I tried everything under the sun, did tonnes of research on forums and the net, couldn't seem to fix it. So I went back to PS, wonked the colors way up, and finally, after hours of work, got something I felt I could submit ( even though I'm still not that happy with the colors). I guess I'd rather submit something rather than nothing - that would feel too defeating. Any advice for fixing my problem would be wonderful!

Hm, I don't understand your image description. I thought we were allowed to use only one image. Did you take this at night with a flashlight or did you join the pictures in post processing?
Colours are beautiful in this picture, dreaminess is good with the blur/zoom whichever... Composition though is a problem, my eye just seems to float to the top right corner where all the yellow flowers bled together into the yello blob, which then is just... well... yellow. I wish there was some focal point in the picture, if so it would bump this way up. As it is, a 6
You have successfully created a fantasy world with color and soft image processing. Green and yellow together are very appealing to the eye. This is a tranquil image that will have strong appeal to some viewers.
Some viewers may wonder what the objects at the top right side of the frame are and may even think they are distractions.
I think you've overdone the soft focus here, but that's okay. I'm not gonna mark it too down for that! I like it to an extent, but part of me wants to focus on the flowers!
Nevertheless, you've used a cool technique to create a dreamy and quite beautiful image. I like how the hill rolls and your eye almost slides over the hazy yellows in this image. Lovely analogous colour scheme here, great image!
The oversaturation, soft focus and glow effect work very well in this challenge and this photo. I'm almost ready to believe that this is a scene from a "world beyond our own".
My eyes keep searching for a subject, though.
