Hi from the Critique Club! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This is a lovely scene - a very typical depiction of hope for many people. It's well composed with some beautiful details but the tones and contrast are suffering an imbalance. There appears to be some heavy use of the shadow/highlight filter which suggests that the shot was rescued rather than a clean original. In such instances I would not submit the shot unless delighted with the results.
I think you've almost achieved what you wanted here, but it's clear to me that the shot you wanted in-camera wasn't quite there. You have still managed to communicate the theme however and it's where I look whenever I hope for positivity to visit me!
This is the same idea I had but did'nt get back in time to enter this challenge. Great DOF but I would have liked to see the foreground a little lighter.
