Nice work. I'd like the skies to have a little more snap to them, but I get the idea.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how much "striping" you wanted to the clouds to have against the sky, so I kept it subdued.
Fall in love with the Soft Light blending mode and circular white-to-transparent gradients.  I don't remember every single step I took, but I remember these...
Selected just the guy at 15-30 feather, filled with white, the used Soft Light at around 20 to 40%.
I then erased the soft light layer on his pants because of color blocking
Used a radial gradient on his head o lighten his face
Used soft light at around 20% to boost contrast, overall.
Inverse selected the guy to Curve the sky to the slight blue
and so on...
I didn't mess with the grass at all, but you know how to boost crap like that already.

Thanks for the encouragement Erik — I may have to toss another shot or two in the mix

Didn't know how people feel about that around here.
For instance, - - e r i k - - refuses to go by his real name of "Fitzgerald."

Critique... But add how it makes you feel, what messages or stories if any it speaks to your mind.

Sorry, but it just looks sloppy to me. No messages or anything.

I don't like this shot.
Noise in the sky is distracting. People out of focus. Trees are poorly framed. The "path/walk" is distracting and should be cropped out. DOF on the trees is too wide making them look flat.
What's the deal with the EXIF info?

Well, it's just a scaled raw import - no cropping or nothing. A few settings changed
in the camera raw but nothing major - so I thought the EXIT might be interesting
to see. Guess not... (??)

This is really just a kind of funny shot rather than one for critique:
