  An excellent composition! I like the placement of all the key elements, not to mention the lush green. Is it really that green in January?!?

  Karen, Pat, glad to take you to Lahore. Yes, it really is that lush, but not everywhere, March is the best time, this was a field on an unusually cool and wet day after a long 'no-rain-oh-hope-it-rains' spell.

  Having checked my work, I saturated the colors in the image by +18. The original picture result however was dull and gray and the saturated result does greater justice to the lushness present on the ground that day. I also unsharped at 156, 2.4, 8, adjusted brightness and contrast just a tad bit, blurred the background trees not in normal mode but in lighten mode at 49% strength and I also admit applying the same blur on the tips of those yellow flowers to make them come up a little. So guilty as charged. Lock that boy up, I say, I say, I say...he's applied every effect in the book!!

But still glad to take you to a part of my world. Murtaza walks off to solitary confinement with his photoshop book. hehe
