First its a great shot with strong editing. The walk is basically the focal point and is centered in the shot, that might weaken its impact. If the photog was a few feet left making the walk cross somewhat right to left more it might have added more interest. Also maybe lowering the position of the camera a tad would make the walk look longer and the leaves in the forground more sharp. With the saturated colors what would make it even more powerful would be a strong focal point like a young woman in a white dress at the end of the walk. The focal point has to be more grabbing than the surrounding. Don't get me wrong, great shot, most of my teachers leave me bleeding after a critique and they grade hard, a "C" to them is great

First off, i LOVE it, its an amazing shot, you must live in one pretty place. Now, subject matter. The repetition of the boards on the walk is nice, and the scattered leaves along it are nice. I like the reflection on the right, and the foliage on the left. It would if been nice to see more of the warmer reds and oranges. Its an overall great shot. I wish i had the opportunity to take shots like this. Now, 18 words to go...umm, what to say... I havent looked at any of your other work, buty i expect to be pleased
