I've called this design Dawnchorus...every once in a while I'll take a photo and just mess about with it till I get a feel I'm happy with.
I wanted a sense of newness: this seemed to change the bluebells into something more suggestive, almost like a savannah, I thought.
And just occasionally, I get a sense of motion from the shapes that just seem a bit more animal-like...

The suggestive light-rays effect was done via an odd little free plug-in called Luce, by the way...

I like it, but feel the foreground needs more contrast or sharpness.

Shaun, I like it! I looks like a dream. The softness seems right to me. the lighting is new, I have to get used to this - reminds me of what many people who have had a near death experience say about walking into a light (without implying anything about your picture!)
The only thing that bugs me a little is the yellow flower in the front left, and I guess there is another one on the right hand side, those are a bit irritating to my eye.

nice work! Uli

I like it, too! Great realization.

I do like it, very nice for a dreamy look but if I had to changed it I like it to have more contrast and lesser brightness for a pc wallpaper (lol)
