This is a beautiful, very classical looking landscape photo, that is well composed, and nicely proportioned. The bottom part of the photo has some nice colors to it, and is nice and sharp and bright, however the haze takes away from the entire photo, the way it covers especially the upper left hand corner. I suggest for this trying a haze filter to cut out some of the haze, or if that doesn't work, maybe try a polarizing filter, which might bring out the blues more in the sky. I love the lines in this photo, especially the way that they come out of the corners, They all kind of come together on the bottom left hand corner, which gives you a good start for a focal point for the entire picture. Once again, I think your biggest problem here was the haze, and maybe shooting at a different time of day might have helped if that was possible.

Technically the only thing wrong with the photo seems to be your lighting and exposure. Otherwise the rest of it is very good. I think you fit the challenge well. This would be an awesome photo, if you have the chance to go shoot it again. Good luck in your next challenges!

You've got a good eye for where to put things in a picture; however, the image is a bit overexposed, and something gives the whole thing impression of colored pencil, which doesn't really work here.

Nice and simple. A tad too much haze for my tasted, but I like it all comes together - Mountains, trees and the fields. Jacko. 8

The scene below is nice. The sky part though is a little too colorless. The greens stand out well. - Inspzil

Very neat perspective. It sure is a hazy day hard time seeing the hills in the backdrop. I really like how you caught hte road at an angle like that, catches your eyes and leads them back. I may have cropped up a bit and got rid of that brush on the lower right hand corner, a little less distracting. 7.

Beautiful composition. The fog in the background really adds distance.

Reminds me of some scenery in Northern California. A haze filter would have been nice.

Oh this is beautiful. You have certainly captured it well. I love the greenery with the path way going through. Very tranquil setting and certainly a top photo. Well captured. GL

The horizon kinda fades out because of the haze. if the contrast was turned up a few notches it might help. The road travelling diagonally really makes this a great shot but it peters out in the center left third of the pic. Leaving your eyeballs standing there waiting for a place to go. Great landscape 7

Rather washed out. Nice composition though

Great composition. The whole photo could be a little darker. Interesting and good focus. Overall a good photo.

Are you in a plane? This is so neat. Great view.....love this color, view.

Great landscape subject. I would have rated it higher if the trees would have been cropped to have them on the left, not sure what your subject is the way you cropped it.
