This is quite serene and 'trance' like. I love the way the boughs lean toward the center from either side forming a canopy and the sepia makes it dreamy.
A fantastic image Dan. The sepia gives it a soft look ... very dreamlike. I love how the tree branches make a canopy over the path. Makes you wonder what is beyond the curve .... I can imagine something very peaceful & lovely. Very well done & best of luck in the contest.
Cindy is so right, the trees boughing in the foreground give it an entry look into your dream world. I think you have yourself a winner here Dan. This makes me want to enter to see what's around the bend. Best of luck in the contest too. You did very well for your first try.
A great "fisheye" effect on this pathway, a good dream sequence to make one wish all sorts of things were around the bend..Nicely done my friend.I love the curve effects on the shadows.......V
Love the sepia treatment. It is very appropriate for the theme of the composition. Good choice of content. Love the lighting on the path. It just guides me me right on down the way. Nice.

I love the use of sepia. It has a dreamy and mysterious appeal that lures you to want to take a walk further knowing fullly well that there could be danger down that road.
Wow- it took me a minute to understand the fish-eye bubble effect... it's really unique! The sepia tone gives it a sort of old-timey stargate look with the bubble. Nice!
