The grass in front of the ladies feet should be sharp and in focus as well since the girls are sitting within the same plane there. That's not how depth of field works and is pretty obvious photoshop was used to create the blurred effect. Also there are some parts of the plant next to the girl furthest from the camera that needs to be masked as well. The area is right near her arm that is on her knee.

Other then that composition, color, pose all look excellent. I would just correct those two minor problems.
