First submission,any and all critiques will be helpful. Trying to catch the "bug" again after 25 years of not having a camera in my hand. I did'nt want to send a photo of train tracks or a road, as I imagine there will be plenty of those.

There was a lot of potential in this pic Chip....if it hadn`t been so out of focus, you would have finished much higher.
Don`t be downheartened..just keep the same level of originality and make sure you get the focus right for future shots.
I like the use of tall trees to show a vanishing point, as it forces the eye into the picture. The colors and textures would be great (I think) if they were in sharp focus - unfortunately they are not.
Such a shame that this photo is so poorly focused. I really liked the thumbnail and was excited to look at the full image. Contrast is also off and the right side and bottom could be cropped a bit more.
