A very nice and soothing composition. I like the line of pink in the middle of the green. I am not a fun of this kind of postprocessing but the blur/dream feeling is very effective here.

I've read this technique before. I haven't found it to work on any of my photos effectively but I think I am starting to see what is needed by looking at yours. Yours is quite effective.
The technique definitely lends something to the color.
I've also heard it suggested that you increase the color saturation on the bottom layer (I suppose so that it comes through better).

Thanks for the info. I'll try this on one of my photographs and see what happens. It makes for a dreamy image that I find appealing.

There are a number of ways to do this. But Photoshop is easiest. Photoshop Elements will work as well.
Open the image you want to mess with. Create a duplicate layer of the image. Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur (About 16, 17 for the slider) the image. In the Layer Window, change the opacity to around 50%. (Play! Higher and lower numbers have different effects) As a final touch, you can erase from the blurred layer around the main subject of your photo to have that one item in focus.
If for some reason this doesn't make sense, e-mail me and I'll take some screen shots.
