Post-challenge :
It looks like people are seeing this image as having more more exposure than it appears on my home monitor. I'll see if I can get another version out.

I am surprised this didn't do better in the challenge, as I like the leading line here..... U like to see just a litle bit more depth of color as it appears to be a little to pale. Great composition.....
I do like the composition of this, with the pathway seeming to lead away, possibly into a meadow. I like the house in the background - adds to the "leading away" concept. But yes, it does seem too light on this monitor. I'd like to see it redone if you get a chance.
