Gerhard, Thanks for your comments. Perhaps I should have explained that this shot was taken and re-sized (600x450) and 160kb for my website some years ago before I had any interest in posting for critique here (or anywhere else). Nowadays I make sure I keep a copy in the original larger format and resize copies to (say 800x600) in Photoshop which I also use to save my image for the web. This is much better than saving to (say) 85% quality because you can adjust the quality right up to the maximum file size allowed by the site and discard the exif data which takes up file space with no extra quality

Hi Ian. I do it this way, with another software: first i make a copy of the picture with the new size (for example 800x600 pixel), then I save it as JPEG with the "progressive"-option and sometimes I make a few trials how much compression i can force the image. Mostly I choose 85% of maximum-quality. But two JPEGs with the same size (800x600 pixel) can have different file-sizes after the compression, depending on how much details the picture has. Mostly I do the sharpening not before I have the picture in the final Size. A new Resizing/Sharpening/Compressing for each occasion I need the picture for. For Resizing/Compressing a lot of Pictures at once I recommend the batch-conversion of Irfanview.
Kind Regards, Gerhard

Thanks Mark (and others not previously acknowledged) - I shot this about 3 years ago and "crunched" the original so I'm afraid its not quite as good as it might have been although work in Photoshop has helped me restore most of the quality

So perfect in a way it almost feels like from a movie set.

Thanks for your kind comments Gerhard - I have no doubt it is possible to get a better quality picture from 196 KB but I dont understand how MY ( ie PhotoShop's) Jpeg compression could be any better - could you explain ??

Excellent color treatment and composition.
Focus is not dead-on but not very noticeable with the color impact and the visual elements og the scene compensating for it.

Your Picture is very beautiful, great coulors, maybe even more beautiful than it was in Reality. Things get beautiful the way we look on it, the way we photograph it...
If it's not an effect you added intentionally, I guess your JPG-Compression could be better. It's possible to get a 196-KB-picture with better quality.
Nice Regards, Gerhard

Great colors.
This is a very unique shot.
I like how this almost looks like a pastel painting.
Great job!
