Nice shot. I like your perspective here.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here with some ideas/thoughts ...

Maybe tone down the yellows a tad? To my eyes, it appears that some dimensionality is lost as a result of the increased saturation of that channel/colour.

Annnnd ... curious as to what a B & W version might look like? Shapes and form (repetitiveness of those trees and limbs) present, lead me to make this suggestion.

Caught my eye, so ... mission accomplished. :o)

And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us.

p.s. Ehh ... why not, I 'talk' too much anyways. :oP

Came across a tutorial ... or two, that might be of interest to you:

Tony Kuyper Photography - Tutorials.

In particular, the "Luminosity Masks" and that of "Luminosity Painting".

Great linear perspective study! The branches of the trees assist the road with the movement of the image. They pull you down the road. I agree Purmusic, tone down the yellows some. While you're at it,see if you can crop the sign in the lower left side. My eyes keep getting drawn to it.

Without doubt, you've got a good eye for an intersting shot.

However, while the trees themselves work well, the background does not compliment the construction - it's fussy and the sign/bench in the bottom left hand side dilute the scene.

If you are in the neighbourhood, I wonder what it would look like (in the early morning or late evening) if there were stronger shadows of the tree extending across the path?

This shot proves that trees are lovely even without leaves. I like the green grass also. Relaxing shot.

Very beautiful shot!

Just a few words of advice...might want to angle it a little differently so you don't see the metal sign on the left hand side. It also has a very "yellowish" look to it, might want to play around in editing to reduce that some.

Over all..the photo is amazing and nicely done! Good job.

I appreciate a lot your comments.
Let me spend some words about the image processing.
The green level is so high since the idea that I want to give is the 'power of sunlight' that seems to 'invade' this path closed by tree branches.

Thanks a lot, for your comment and plase, follow me (and my gallery :) )

I like the composition and framing. The little sign on the left does draw attention.
