Taken in Max Meadows Va. This used to be my Great Grandfathers land once upon a time.
I increased the saturation and cloned out some distractions in the grass.

Beautiful shot. You should increase the saturation a little just to see how it looks. It might not work but what the heck. Great job on the composition.
i like where you're going with this but feel that the crop is too tight on the bottom... i don't like how the road hugs the frame like that, but i'm not sure theres much you could have done about that.
Also, I think some dodging and burning could have really accentuated the really interesting parts of your image like the red leaves in the bottom left, the road, and the sunlit hill top. And overall i think the image could use a bit more contrast through levels or curves.
Sorry for the long post but i really like the pic, thats the only reason i wanted to comment :) 7
Beautiful shot - the colours and layers are gorgeous. Couple of things though - the barbed wire in the foreground is distracting (I can imagine you were trying everything to shoot over it and still keep the road) and some of the colours are a bit washed out and may benefit from some boosting.
