Beautiful backlight and the trees are just bare enough to show their branches. I placed a
sheet of paper over the big tee on the left coming out of the edge of the frame and IMO it
looks better without. There's a nice mix of sizes and distance from the camera on the right
side but the big one on the left seems to overwhelm that side. If mine I'd just crop out the
trunk and leave the large branches at the top alone.

I like the interplay of sunlight and shadows along the pathway (I find it very inviting), the use of the path to lead the eyes of the viewer through to the distant opening in the woods and the sense of peacefulness that is evoked by the setting. My only nit is the size of posting... I wish it had been larger to allow for easier exploration.

I like the scene, but the colours seem over-saturated. Maybe a little less red?

Very nice.

Interesting colors and use of perspective. Almost too much perspective and too much color... it makes it cartoon like. But I think that's unique and attractive here. That haze of blue at just about mid-field is kind of remarkable.

For really boring subject matter, this picture is fun to look at.

Cracking shot, I like it!

At first look what may be a "really boring" landscape scene can be transformed into
extraordinary with some fog, backlight (like this one), etc. If you were to continue down the
trail and look back toward camera position there would no backlit leaves and silhouetted
branches. Could be boring.

I really like it. It would be interesting to see how it will look without that tree on the left side...and the color seems fine to me but you can always play around with that more too.

Good eye for color, I think it's a serene, lovely view, and the lighting works just right.
