The composition is perfect but I wish it had been vertical -- what a glorious poster this would make for Provence! Why are posters vertical, anyway? Great choice of images and the dd work is masterful. Love the tones and light, Les. Surely you can market this one.

Incredibly artistic creation Les! Thanks for sharing the sampling of original images - it's quite something to see what you worked from and came to through your process. All the originals were gorgeous as well!

Fantastic results Les. Your 7 hour effort is surely worth it. And having the oportunity of seeing the original images is very interesting for me. ... If I had done this though (you'll have to tell me sometime how this is done), I probably wouldn't have included the birds ... I don't think they add that much to the image and are (to me of course) a bit distracting.
Again, a fabulous image. I really like this new style you are experimenting with.
