This image is overexposed... There is detail lost on the highlights at path-level on both sides. Looks like you needed to take a few houres earlier or later; With this micu tonal range even a grad filter wouldn't have brought the whole scene into 4 stops.
Nice, if it was the only photo of colored leafs in the challenge it would be even better but there are so many.
It's a nice picture but after the 20th the wow factor is gone (not your fault)
Good luck.
I know this is an artistic thing but, for me it is, perhaps, just "too much yellow". It's like the photo is screaming at me. I wonder if a simple hue/sat change towards a little more red might have made this image better? Also, I think adding a person walking along the road would have added a strong element to the image, giving the eye something to focus on. Plus, such an addition could have had contrasting colors which could have balanced the rest of the color... just a thought.
The image seems a little blown out on the lower right. The camera may have been fooled by that bright light. It's an interesting pic though. Nice road for sure. 5.
