Ok, I'm keeping to my word. I can't believe I'm submitting this. All I can say is, it better score less than a 6.46. (it should) I set my 12 second timer and ran down the trail and tried to fake walk in the prefocused area. The bokeh would have been better if I had been closer, but I didn't want a full, in your face, ass shot. In case you're wondering, that tan is from volleyball. ;-)
I did all sorts of searches and couldn't find anything like this, at least with the right keywords, so I'm hoping no one else can find one either. PP'ing included several filters masked over certain areas. I used the Indian Summer filter for the trail by converting the green to an orange. Glamor Glow on areas of the trees. Tonal contrast overall. A blurred vignette to help accentuate the shallow dof from the lens.
I seriously considered entering this into the Contrast challenge (for obvious reasons), but I figure it might do a little better in this one.

Lol! One of my favorite things on DPC is never knowing what photo will pop up next. This made me laugh. Yup - I don't think this has been seen here before. Well done and great sense of humor. Good luck in the challenge!
Well that had to be very freeing? :) I love the color of the path, the softness of the green. Great tan line. The focus seems right but is throwing me off for some reason.

Now, is there an image on dpc of a naked person in the woods? I'm not looking for one (well, not a guy). A fun image with a good exposure (sorry) maybe a little too much foreground but am loving the oof bits. I like the composition and am glad he wasn't walking toward me!
Hahahahaha!! I knew that some crazy ideas would arise!
Ok... this little green bush on the foreground is distracting... i think you could have cropped on the begining of the focus area.
