I will try not to rehash all of the comments left already so lets look at color. This photo has some great colors in it and I feel that with some minor curves/levels/contrast adjustments you could make this really pop off of the page. With all of the shades of green in the foreground in contrast with the blue of the water, you could make the viewer really want be sitting on the hill looking at the lake.

I like the composition of this shot. A little more sky and a little less of the tall grass may make it more relaxing to me.

You technical skill are good, there is not signs of artifacts and the picture is nice and crisp.

You have captured a very nice view that has me longing to see more.

Here's a quick and dirty mock up of what I was talking about. It's a little to much, but you get the idea: //www.pbase.com/image/11318466

It wasn't until I saw the slippers that I laughed out loud. Nice pose. Lighting is a little harsh, but when you're working with dogs, you get what they give you. Nice shot.

LOL, once I read the whole thing. You brits have a good sense of humor. Lighting is very effective as well as DOF.

Some may not see the humor in this, but it a nice commentary on life that everyone needs to cover their @$$, even the chickens!

I usually wouldn't rate a photo of a stuffed animal high, but I like the context of this shot. I found it rather amusing.

Nice twist on an old theme. Your lighting is goo and skin tones are perfect.

Simple, but effective. This made me laugh out loud!. Hand color may be a bit blown out, but nice non-the-less.

Rose Tint My World

Composition (Content)
Nice use of subject and tree. They make for a complementary layout. It makes me wonder what the gentleman is looking at.

Background
The hills in the background add a nice touch to the scene. They disappear off into the horizon leaving no hard horizon.

Camera Work (Technical)
Your focus is a little soft. Not sure if this is due to the rose tint, or on purpose. Contrast and lighting seem ok.

Digital Processing (Technical)
Sharpening is fair(May need to use unmask sharpen)
Balance between light and dark is good. (Good tone throughout)
Compression is good(No noticeable compression artifacts)

My opinion
I'm not familiar with the song, but the composition of the shot is good. I feel that your focus and over tint of the red is a bit distracting. Could this have worked with just a hint of rose? All in all a nice shot.
