Indeed it is a beautiful picture... in fact TWO pictures in one, so it is 
doubly beautiful!
Your control of the deepth of field is great.

Somehow the dark mountain slope seems to compete for attention from the 
foreground flowers. See what you think by cropping the dark slope to a 
little above   the top of the distant mountain?

You seemed to be doing well with your current system by looking at your 
photo above. In what way are you not satisfied? Are you looking for a 
digital camera?
What budget have you set aside for it?

As to 'photogallery', I was a member of it moons ago. I think I had some 
photos in the "files" or "photos" section. But I can't
get on it now perhaps 
because the moon has shifted orbit or my gyroscope is distracted by some 
Angels...
