Had this not been basic editing, I would have removed that white sign in the bush above the bridge and cleaned up the slight lens flare in the woods...

Agreed. Border is obmoxious. ;-) I had meant to make it smaller, and hit a time crunch. Convinced myself it was fine. So, I learned something. :-)
As for other editing comments -- thank you. my intent here was to take the eye from the right bottom corner to the left bottom corner -- you enter the path on one side of the bridge, and fall off on the other side -- without really getting anywhere. For me, cutting off the bridge part wouldn't have that same impact of taking the eye along the path from Point A to Point B. But maybe my title was off, then....
Thanks, everyone for the helpful comments.

Personally, would prefer such an image with a bit more contrast and/or saturation. The trunk in the foreground may be distracting as well. Otherwise – very nice!
Your border is Obnoxious but other than that i do like your picture it is captivating and the perfect angle. That border brings you down though, you dont need it your picture is good without it.
