The exposure feels a little unnatural to me. Is this HDR?

There is an explosion of lines/shapes and color here in this composition. While beautiful and verdant the tight bunching of so many lines and extra vibrant color makes it all the harder for the eye to drink in the scene. I am sure that a large size print of 16 x 20 it would look great large scale but when you translate it down to small scale it just hits the eye all at once and becomes overwhelming. One thing that bothers me is that the extra vibrant violet colors of the floral floor. It looks too saturated. While I see some wonderful shadows and midtones in the trunks of the trees to define each individual shape, I don't quite see the same mimicked in the flowers. It's there but not to the same degree - and I wonder if that selection was less saturated and had a boost in the shadows/midtones if it would ground and define the scene more.

The image lacks a main subject and has the feeling that it is slightly tilted

Lovely composition and a beautifull setting - well seen. I like this as is but would love to also se this same scene with different lighting. Flowers in front a bit soft - maybe more depth needed there. 7

A beautiful scene... it just looks a little too HDR'd or something. Could use a little better contrast, in my opinion.

To me, the top of the bluebells is too close to centre. Including more of the trees and less of the flowers I think would make a stronger image.
