* Greetings from the Critique Club *
First, let me say that I thought this met the Naturally Framed Challenge well. The trees and canopies provided a very natural frame for the entire shot.
Second, I have to agree with some of the other Commenters here that the light areas are too bright - causing you to lose a lot of detail and color due to wash out. You can probably improve this quite a bit with some additional processing (reduce backlighting, increase contrast, tone down lighting overall, and increase color sat, to name a few). I think by doing so you'll increase the greens & browns of the trees, increase the blues of the sky, and increase the shadows (creating even more impressive lighting effects) on everything beneath the trees.
Third, it's a beautifully composed image. Really nicely cropped and presented.
Fourth, I think you can increase the color & detail (same as above).
Fifth, Not sure if anyone else feels the same, but the people in the lower left of shot (woman pushing toddler carriage) are a bit of a distraction. I only say so, because the rest of the entire shot is devoid of people & cars (at least as far as I can see). Don't know whether you could quietly erase them or reshoot the shot, just an very minor observation.
Sixth, please feel free to contact me with any questions. The comments above are just my 2 cents - it's your impression of the shot that matters most. :-)
Seventh, overall I think it's a very good job! Keep up the good work.

| My question is what is being framed? The road I assume. A little boring. Beautiful street. |

South African? This rings a bell - let me know if I'm right (or if i'm completely wrong).

| Your idea here was good - these lovely old trees certainly frame the road well. But the photo is over exposed - the brightest areas are "blown out". |

| Beautiful avenue of gorgeous trees. Image is quite bright/overexposed in places but it's lovely and quite uplifting. The only challenge gripe is that there's nothing obviously framed, but I see it as frames in frames. |

| Nice picture, but you should under expose the image to light, to show the colour sharpness |
