I like the colors in the background, however there is no discernible separation in the white flower petals and the other flower that has not blossomed takes away from the image.

The background looks like it was done mostly in photoshop. If it wasn't, then great job on that.

Lovely job! This shot has a real "painting" feel to it. I love the colors, the bokeh is beautiful and the photograph is stunning. Well done. One of my top 3

Very pretty colors, but I feel the bokeh really overpowers the subject, which is a bit blown

I'm not sure why, but I feel like this is a Neat production. Magnificent sky, and I love the bright slices of grass. Plus a bird to boot. My only nit is that the girl in the front could have used a bit of dodging on the face, and the glamour glow is a bit heavy for my taste

I can decide about the postprocessing, in a sense I love it, in a sense I don't and I would have loved the face of the girl on the right to be a bit brighter, as that's where the eye tend to travel too. The softness both adds and detracts.
Compositionally it's an outstanding piece, the choice to include so much of the sky is just right and it's the kind of image which affords viewing time very independently from the challenge.
I'd say best in show, if that matters, but probably it doesn't because quality is quality, wherever you place it.
