This edited version with the vignetting effect in the top half now has more colors which adds balance to the overall image. It is a fantasy image, after all, and I find the whole composition to be delightful and upbeat.
After all the views I've had of this, Anne, I just realized that there should be a frog in her hand
Well done!

Oooooh! I should have thought about that! A frog - a little cliched, but in a good way (and no more than butterflies).
I'm very happy that you like the updated version even better.

Yes. Definitely a Spring meadow. I can imagine myself going out on the first sunny day to play with flowers and butterflies

Who wouldn't want to do that? I don't know about you, but here we had a looooong winter and spring came late.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!

My pleasure.
Same here with cold Winter, cold Spring. On global scale we are not that far apart, I am in the Netherlands.

And I'm in the East of France... so, yes, we probably had the same loooooong winter and a spring that didn't feel like spring at all.

And now Summer is kind of struggling to be Summer, most of the times it is overcasted. I haven't seen many blue skies lately

I know... it sucks. Here, it's nice during a couple of days, then it starts raining again. Everything is growing too fast and I have so much yard work to do that I can't even think about spending some time on the computer.

Oh LOL! I planted a vegetable garden, first time ever. Not too big, I only have a small yard. So we have about 30 square meters planted with vegetables. And I do have 6-7 meters with various kind of berries.
So I love the rain (when it rains at nighttimes) because the veggies grow better

I have a small vegetable garden. That's the yard that is far too big - too many slopes and grass to cut. Grass has been growing so fast this year... so when I'm finally done, I have to start it all over again. At times I feel like some kind of Sisyphys. lol.

Reminds me of my father. Had a big property, and most of it was covered with lawn like grass. He kept his mowing machine going

Love this! However, there is just have threeΒ itsy bitsy problems that should be attended to.
Blue Jays are 9-12 inches from head to toe. You have the bird in the foreground (the log is in the nearest foreground), and it should be much larger then it is right now.Β And when changing it's size, don't forget that it should the mostΒ detailed part of the image.
Next, according to how much light is hitting your model (coming from the right side)l, and how dark the dark areas are, the other objects, including the trees, must have light and the dark coming from the same direction. You may have to "force" the light and shadow in some areas, but it will help the image look more realistic.
I think the image need more light coming from the background. Not a lot. Right now it looks a little muddy and too dull for the sky.
Lastly, the entire image got a little too dull. I would select just the background and bring up the saturation some. Try that and see how it works.
Over all, this is a beautifully arranged image. I think those adjustments will make your image really stand out.

First off, thank you so, so much for taking the time to write a "critique" - I know it's what Manipulate This is about (about learning), but still, saying thank you is the least I can do.
I've just uploaded the updated file. I hope it's better...
