I like how the focus is on the trees. The trees are the main subject so that was clever of you. I really like the crop and the symmetry in the picture. There are a couple of things that could have gone better in my opinion. The building in the background tilts just a bit. And the road in the middle looks strange. Like their are grey paint on it or something. Placing an old man walking down that road would have made this picture amazing. Without and old man it is good as well ;) Good job and good luck in future challanges.

Seems a little crooked to me, and you spelled knowledge wrong, which kind of takes away from the presentation to me.

Them trees are good :) Keep your horizontals straight

Need better focus. There is also something wrong on the walkway. It seems to be very unevenly exposed and color seems to not match the scene all that well. Anyway, the topic needs work as well. Maybe zooming in on the columns with steps leading to them would make a better image. Trees did not add to the overall theme of the image.

Photograph seems to be tilting a little to the right and I wish there was better focus on the building as it is the center of this shot

You maybe should have rotate it a bit to straighten the photo.
If your intention was to center the attention upon the trees , a vertical(portrait) shot could have been more stunning or maybe just if you'd have took this one showing more the branches of the trees.
What I don't like in this photo is the white/greyish square , it seems like you "paint" it , all the path look unreal.

You will probably hear this a lot, but the horizon is tilted to the right. There is a great tutorial on DPC on how to easily straighten it. The texture in the sidewalk is missing too. Gives it a strange look.

Seems a little soft & the lighting is too strong

Seems a bit bright. Maybe could have used a contrast edit.

Love the frame of the trees with the path, the greens add color and the trees are nice and sharp. The only thing that I do not like is over exposed section where the trees end before the building starts. Good luck -7-

Lovely colours. Could have made it horizontal possibly and my eyes are attracted more to the door which doesn't seem as in focus as the trees. Still a lovely shot. Good luck

I think the building needs straightening.

Horizon is tilted, focus is very soft overall, and road is overexposed. The POV is nice though.

I can't decide if I want more DOF or not. I say yes, and then I think that the picture would be boring with more DOF, but then the slightly out of focus building bothers me. I like the composition though!
