I very much like the tonality and elements (shapes, lines) - just how it is is how it should be - something I don't often see. However I do think it is not perfectly balanced, and it may be the angle of view as suggested below, or a matter of cropping.
A bit on the flat side contrast wise for my taste but nothing that´s really bothering me. I do like the composition but have a feeling it would have been better if you had been standing on the left side of that trail, having it begin in thelower right corner and go up in the hills like it does here. Did you take any shot´s like that? Would like to see the comparision at least. 6 from me.
This is atually quite nicely done. Love the tonality of the cold foggy air. Nothing quite like that. However, This shot just seems to need a little something that would take it from very nice to the 'wow' factor. Maybe someone walking up the path. Don't know what it is but it just needs that one little boost.

Beautiful in its simplicity. Love the lines in the road and telephone poles. Just the right amount of light is peeking through as well - I imagine it would have been very easy to over or underexpose this. Well done!
Looks like you got a nice photo without using the expert editing. I was hoping to see more of that. If you have used expert editing rules...then congrats, you sure fooled me!
