Colors are very nice and came out very saturated, which I like, but I think the photo is underexposed, on the whole. Also, I think you could have cropped out the dark top 1/4th of the picture.

A nice photo. When I hear Country Living, I think wide open spaces, I know forests are out in the country too, but the canopy of trees almost feels constricting.

I think that the vase looks too out of place. Where are the baking bread and lace and johdpurs?

Comment by HBunch:
I can't say that this interests me much. Here is what I see...
A tilted plastic cup full of out of focus, half dead, flowers in the middle of an unmown yard. The light is really bright on the whites, and too dark in the pinks. I think the thing that bothers me most, is WHY is this cup of flowers sitting in the middle of nowhere.
Don't mean to be harsh, but I'm not seeing the point, nor the country living here. and i live in the country.
The one thing I see that works though, is the way that the purple comes together in the photo. Border, flowers, and specks in the background as well. It flows nicely with the color.

The idea of having a vase of flowers outdoors is an interesting one, but this photo ends up without much visual "oomph". I think it would help if it were a little lighter, and perhaps if the background was a bit more interesting.

You know, I think I would like this shot better without the vase in the front, it's such a lovely green meadow with a very natural beauty. The flowers, of course, are bright and pretty too, but that's just me. : )

Thought they did more houses and horses. Remove some blades of grass from the foreground, particularly the one on the left.

I assume the reference is to sap. but the sap isn't very visible, let alone prominent. Maybe a different composition would have improved it on that point. The picture's also a little soft and not very vibrant. 3
