The first thing I thought was "It's the road to South Park!" -- which will only make sense if you both watch South Park and have seen the "It's Butters!" episode. Nice... I like the way the path fades down at the end, and how it's framed by the trees.
The exposure feels a little off, but what a great capture. I almost wish it felt "darker" - the light trees give it a wholly different sense and feel. 8
Maybe I'm just a sucker for duotone path shots, but your tones here are marvelous and make me want to walk down that path. Looks soft and inviting with your use of light and focus.
The focus is ... weird, in this. I wanted to say it was blurry, but it isn't - maybe it WAS blurry, and then was sharpened enough so that the odd flat bright areas (leaves) were simply given sharp edges? It feels strange, as if some of the pebbles on the road were closerto the camera than the grass that's even with them in the frame.
SOme great contrasts here. Love the shadows up the trail. would like a bit more detail to maybe bring out more texture in the leaves, may bgring a touch more depth to the shot (?)
I love the photo of path here -- it's a great subject for a duotone photo, but to me, the lighting on the shrubs/trees in the foreground is so harsh that it steals focus from the winding path itself.
