I think this is very well done and one of my favs. I might have added just a bit more space (more landscape), however, the pp is excellent.

Thank you for your responsive comment on my comment, which educates me on this tendency of watercolors to often blur in the background. I suppose the paint can be wetter or dryer as it's applied, or for reasons I'm not aware of. Mine is a good example of limited knowledge undercutting criticism, sincere as it may be. Best of all, now I can appreciate your image with fresh eyes.

Very appealing scene, in which you feel as if you've stepped into a breeze. The colors are harmonious with the season, and the mood is gentle. What I don't understand in the context of a painting is the focus. We are used to seeing part of a photograph in focus, here the tree leaves, with the rest of the scene being not being in focus, to the point of becoming bokeh. In paintings, however, and I might be wrong about this, this phenomenon is rarely present. The focus, if anything, fades out very little and very gradually. So in this particular instant, the photograph doesn't convincingly translate to a painterly version. I'm belaboring the issue because I otherwise like the image.
