 Just playing around with ideas, this is a processed image, one RAW image two settings, merged in photoshop, trying out my tablet with some NN layer masks, then usm mask, brought out the colour of the yellow flowers as well, selectively applied a curves layer as well.

Think this is looking at a 5.5, but who knows!!

Greetings from the critique club :)

Well this is a pretty nice shot, if I had voted I probably would have given it a 6. Not really much constructive stuff I can say about it, the shot is nicely composed and exposed, got tones all over. Maybe the darkest parts could be a bit brighter, for my taste but that´s not something that is bothering me at all. All in all this is a pretty pleasant shot to look at but there is also nothing that is extremely interesting about it, something that would warrant it a higher vote from me and apparently most other users.

I at least completely disagree with apple77berry, I think the composition is nice but I think wickee_one raises a good point about noise, the shot would be better without it but it´s also nothing that is bothering me.

What I like best about the composition is that the tree seems to be stretching up to the clouds in the upper left corner.

Sorry but don´t really have anything more to say so I´ll just say kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

I really like the overall feeling I get with this picture. I think the picture could have benefited with some noise reduction. There is quite a bit of noise visible, especially along the fence line.
