Hi Tammy,

A few weeks ago Ross posted some shots where he did a miniature type of effect which works best with images just like this, looking down on a scene from higher up..
I hope you don't mind, but I thought I'd try it on your image.
Effectively what you do is selct a plane of focus and blur the fore and background and increase the saturation and contrast.
I think it came up pretty well. See what you think.

Not bad at all A D - looking down is essential, would also suggest from our observations that the effect seems to work better/more often if the subject that you keep in focus is in the bottom third of the shot!!
