Good crop and color, but even with a perfect exposure, this type of shot won't tend to fare well in the voting. The backs of three strangers aren't particularly interesting to most, and you'll get some 1 votes for the apparent 4th person in the stroller. Shooting 1/2 second earlier would have avoided the tree lining up with the man's head.
Nice atmosphere! Maybe you could have given more sense of space and walking by including more of the path to the left, don't know if that would have been possible.
Difficult to make this call without seeing the surroundings, but I think I would have liked more of them - say, at least, the tops of those trees, and maybe a little more space to the left. It just feels a bit tight. Nice color and lighting though.
