I like the composition, but colors seems over saturated, IMO. 6

Nice DOF... but i think the oversaturation lets it down as it results in some distortion at the back. I think overall its a little too saturated and I would have liked to see more of the flowers in the foreground as at the moment I find them distracting me from looking at the back. which is where the areas of interest seem to be.

Compositionally I'm not sure you're showing the great wide open very well. The tress/hill/mountain all sag within the frame towards an off centered spot and the weeds lead towards the center. So what you got is a scene that feels almost claustrophobic which is the exact opposite of what your title says. The vivid colors also don't help as it only makes the scene more complicated. The key here is simplicity. Having less shapes makes it easier to achieve harmony within the composition. The more you add the harder it is to maintain it and I think that's what happened here. This is not a bad photo so just take this as some feedback. Good luck.

the focus here is on the flowers and not the great wide open. Its like the guy has left his kid behind who doesn't want to go on the walk. :-)

Nice vivid colors! The lighting looks a little harsh though - almost like it's either backlit or maybe in the middle of the day. Nice shot though!
