Greetings from the Critique Club...

A really good image, with excellent detail and tonal range. From the looks of it a few people thought this image was too dark. I don't get that because it looks fine on my monitor, which I purposely have slightly on the dark side. That's a shame because this is a good image and an excellent challenge entry to boot.

Beyond the monitor issues I think people overall had trouble seeing the path mainly because it leads into the woods rather than into an opening. If this was advance editing I might suggest some spot editing to make the path appear a bit more visible. Other than that this works. As someone mentioned, this could work as an inspirational poster as is. So congrats on a nice capture and better luck next time.

I think it may have been a stronger photo with the bottom quarter cropped off, nice colour tone and match to the saying.

THis is a nice photo with good leading lines, however the photo seems a bit dark to me on my calibrated monitor. I'd suggest a shadows/highlights adjustment and bump the contrast and saturation a touch. Otherwise nicely done and fits the challenge well.

Setting - perfect. Mood - perfect. Title - perfect. Lighting - harsh! The dark shadows are a little bit distracting, especially in the front right corner where it's almost pitch black (most possibly my screen). Still, good effort! Good luck with the next challenge.
