in this single spot alone, imagine the photographic opportunities! The colors, the bend in the road, the people walking away (or towards you ie those apportunities!) They look a bit...dodged around them, not sure I like that 8

I like the S curve in the shot. This image might be more compelling if converted to BW or a duo-tone

I like how the warm autumn colors frame the black subjects. I think I'd like it a little more if I could see their faces and expressions... I'd feel a little more connected. Nice shot.

Some will consider this a bit of a copout - ie shooting people from behind - but their body language and the color of this shot, along with the railing and path to draw you in, makes for a very pleasing photograph. Light is gorgeous and handled well.
