Wonderful composition. I like the idea and the stock used. One thing that I have noticed with this piece is the Escher type effect caused by her sitting in front of the Gazebo pole. This may be corrected by moving her to the left and and center and putting her behind the poles. Also would like to see vines running up the poles to connect with the flowers. Needs more shadows or darkening to define the various layers Examples; Under the Gazebo and under the girl. Maybe a gradient mask overlay with a saturation increase for the foreground flowers plus a Gaussian blur to give more depth. I'm sure there's heaps of adjustments to any piece that you can make. The trick I suppose is knowing when to stop. Apart from the Gazebo pole (Unless that's the effect you actually want) all my suggestions can be ignored because after all it's your vision that's created this, not mine. I'll just say well done.

I LOVE THIS! That gazebo is beautiful--it has a sort of art nouveau or fairy-like feel that I really like. The composition is great and I love the horses, too, especially the black one!

The only critique I could offer you would be that the gazebo poles make me kinda dizzy trying to follow which pole goes where, which is what BOBandJOB mentioned on their critique, but I understand that you had to edit the gazebo quite a bit to make everything fit. But it's a minor thing, and I still love this picture anyway! I wish my backyard looked as pretty as this!

You did a fantastic job! Keep up the great work!
