The in-focus branches at the top seem to create a false sense of the depth -- they seem nearer than the in-focus middle of the path.
I wonder how this would look if the nearest foreground was in focus with a constant blurring to the rear, rather than having the in-focus area part-way back.
It's not 'Lawn' in the normal sense because it seems more 'wild' then 'cultivated'. However, I love it and I hope it places in the top 10. I'm giving it a 10.
