For me the blur amount is fine, but far too grainy. I think 40 samples is
way too low. I had to go up to 200 for an image I just finished, but the
smooth result was well worth it.

I noticed that the grass gets suddenly darker toward the right hand side of
the image. Any idea what causes this? Maybe a really wide lawn-mower?

All the best,

Andy
