Love the whimsy, and the image is very clean. The octopus is an excellent addition! But, with the amount of light coming down from the top, I would have added a few caustics to give the image a bit more depth. Just my opinion.
Regarding the stock you have used from deviantART - they all require some kind of link back / notification of the use of stock, which I can't seem to find!?... Also, regarding the use of the Dolphin from Della-Stock it states on the authors terms of usage that you require written permission to use the image outside of deviantART - if you have that's GREAT, just attach it as a screen grab, censoring the personal identifiable info and stick it in the SBS section as proof.

About Della-Stock, I follow her complete rules on "Use of Landscape/Animal/Nature/Object/Texture stock". About links back, I ALWAYS do it AFTER the contests are over.
OK well this is written on the page you've linked to with regards to the Dolphin stock
" For Use Where: These stock photos are free to use primarily on deviantART.
Please request permission if you would like to use this outside of deviantART
For questions regarding the use of my stock in Blogs, avatars, DevMobile and Prints, please see my Terms and Conditions"
As this is not deviantART you require PERMISSION to use the image! otherwise you can't include it in your entry! if you have the proof from Della-Stock that says you are granted the permission to use it outside of deviantART then you NEED to include this confirmation (blacking out all identifiable information such as name - email etc) and upload it into the SBS section!. This permission serves as your licence to use the image
Moderator says:
With the rule in the ( for use where ) section of the author's DA Terms and Conditions,
Use of Landscape/Animal/Nature/Object/Texture stock: feel free to post your manipulations/traditional art on other websites (like Flickr, Ponybox, personal websites) with credit and links
We believe this source image is OK to be used in this entry.
It clearly says Please request permission if you would like to use this outside of deviantART in bold script - regardless of the owners overall T&C's - This is why I have a problem with DA stock!
Absolutely fantastic work - beautiful. I agree about the crow - I think I'd like it silhouetted against the sky. I'd love this as a wallpaper for my pc. Congratulations on a lovely piece of work !
Great result with this! The flowers are great, and after much thought on the position of the crow, I think it really balances the picture where it is. Well done

Thank you. That's the idea: a diagonal composition, following the hill
I don't mind if it isn't widescreen - it would be lovely anyway and is one of my favourite places to walk. Next time I am there I will imagine your scene.
I like it!
Very cool! Love the octopus!

Caustics? Sorry I don't think I got it
A bit dark but beautiful
