Thank you to everyone for your comments. The shot does appear somewhat skewed to the right because it is a sloping river bed. Thanks to the critiques, I will be cognizant of setting up future shots and how the final product may be interpreted. I appreciate the comments about a harsher crop too. All helpful critiques. Thank you.

Very nice image... reminds me of Lord of the Rings for some reason... the trees and the warm light perhaps. Nice detail, but could have been just a little sharper (IMHO), and the image feels unbalanced... keep wanting to tilt my head to the right.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful.

My suggestion would be: give it a more extreme crop. I think the picture is aiming for showing some wild and radical world, so a wild and radical aspect ratio would be okay. Specifically, I'd crop off the top 10%-ish to get rid of the foreground leaves in the upper right; I think they break the ambience.

I really like your transition from the gloom of the forest to the harsh light of the day. The mist really make this image. Very nicely done....8

This is a striking image, very much art. I like the move from shadow to light, left to right. I have no suggestions, this is my favorite so far.
