Almost looks like a painting, I like the effect on the flowers.

Sorry but in my opinion, the focus is supposed to be on the butterflies head, this is something I would throw away had I taken it but only because I feel the focus is way way off, the rest, like lighting and composition is good.

Okay.....this one didn't do well for me because there's nothing that tells me it's farm/country oriented. It's dark in the front which appears to be formal gardens, and I do not know what the huge building is......if it's a barn/stable, it's of I type with which I am not familiar. And it kind of doesn't say landscape to me either with it being such a confined shot. Please accept my apologies for honestly stating that this one didn't work for me.

It is clean and clear in the light, and it does look like it is very pretty outside the dark area. It looks like a lovely setting.

Comment by posthumous:
from the blurgeois pedagogues thread:

How can an image be musical? One way is blur, because music occurs in the blur of one note into another. Music, after all, requires time: time for the notes to play, time for them to change, time for the pulse of rhythm. Blur suggests time, since it suggests motion. Your subject matter and composition continue this theme of motion over time. We have the child, blurred, from moving, living and, one subliminally feels, from growing. Add to that the highlight to his right follows lines of perspective and motion is once again implied, motion from background to foreground, or vice versa. And over (under?) all this is the rhythm of the texture of the repeating curves of flora.
