Certainly very nice, but to my taste a bit over sharpened.

The sharpening gets worsened by Flickr shrinking the image.
This one should look a bit less oversharpened:

Indeed, that is all the difference you need.

Very nice. I'd be tempted to clone out the two blurred sticks in the centre right, sticking up above the horizon.

I like it.
Pedant alert  ::): I think these are rushes.

The unsharp behind layer of grass is left intentional for threedimensionality - if you mean that.
I chose f-stop accordingly when I took it to have exactly that effect

Yes, it's a fine, artful effect.

But I mean that the grass-like plants are not exactly grasses, but close relatives called "rushes" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juncaceae).

This is of no consequence unless you display this in a botanic garden.

I see - so its a language problem.
I thought you wanted to say I was rushing this image and being sloppy.
So I just learned a new word today.
