Linda,
beautiful landsape and I think you pass the beauty along in this picture. Technically it's sound - with your protfolio, I'm not surprised at all. The exposure of the foreground and background is just right and balanced. From a composition POV (which can always be argued :)) I would have zoomed with your 70-200 lens much closer on the right side. If you look at the left side, there is not a lot going on. And you clearly wanted the viewer to focus on the cliff with the building on top. If you zoom in much closer where the river (?) makes the right turn and have this as your left border, the bushes as a boundary at the bottom and the building just a bit over the top-right third, I think you have some nice leading lines in your picture.
You probably tried to add a point of interest with the weed in the foreground, but I think you don't need this in your pic. The bushes provide enough borders to bounce the viewer right back into the scene, along the river to the shore and then up the cliff.

great idea to have the static flowers in your pciture. with the shown motion it gives the viewer something to hold on to.

I'm probably #259: wrong challenge. at least I could not find any animals.
But, as a flora image: good imagination, like the shallow DOF, good integration of the shadows into your composition.

Buzz, I was convinced this would do better. But you got nice comments that do make up for the score.
