What a great pattern entry! That bold burst of green is a great eye-catcher - good luck! -- 7 --

I contemplated submitting a shot against the grain, too. We both know it can't possibly end well, though...

Regardless, your bold endeavor demands I pay closer attention!

Fairly nice bokeh from what I can tell here at this aperture. The COC are nice & not too busy, so that is pleasing. I love the hint of a scene with the person next to the tree. She (I say 'she' because of the colors, but I s'pose it could be a 'he') looks like she has a picnic blanket in front of her, likely folding it up given the title. Strong vertical elements that the grove of trees supply here adds a nice fairy tale element to the composition. The downfall here, IMO, is the lack in contrast & saturation. I'm begging for those highlights to be contrasted by deep dark greens everywhere, not just one small tease of a patch across the centre.

This has a nice impressionistic element going strongly for it, and I like the storytelling that takes palce in the title and the action. Ultimately a little more strength in the palette would have brought it up a notch or two for me - good luck! -- 7 --

Very nice - absolutely delicious colors! The R G B effect is great & love how you let the wide angle be dominated by all the awesome foreground vegetation... -- 10 --

fascinating scene - feels a little over-lit, with too much white (given the mood) - make sit feel too posed, IMHO. But maybe that contrast was your intention... I really like the choice in models here - they're expressions are spot on - as is the wardrobe & make-up... -- 8 --
