Greetings from the Critique Club

Strong points: The light. The light is very beautiful in this image, it's what makes the image.

Possible weaknesses: It's not all that interesting of a place (for a picture in a challenge I mean).

Overall, I think this is a beautiful image, because of the light, but outside of that there isn't much to hold anyone (except if you know the place and want to remember the good times you had there). It's a real pity you didn't get more comments. I don't think the "distractions" are an issue here, but it is possible that a slightly different crop (or different position to make the image) would help.

As for the post-processing, I think it is really quite adequate for the picture. One possibility would be to intensify the red tones a bit, I don't know for sure. To me the colours look right.

I'm really not sure what to tell you. I think it is a beautiful shot as it is, but it is not one that will stand out amongst 500 other shots. I hope this helps.

Lovely lighting through the trees, but i feel it deserves more space on the picture instead of the paths to the left. A very nice picture.

Would like to have seen some of the distractions removed...
