Um... it's very small!

That makes it a bit hard to say much about the photo, although most of it looks fairly dark so it might benefit from a crop. Do you have a larger version?

ps. I notice that was your first posting so welcome and please don't feel afraid to ask for help with anything you are not sure about.

Please post it again as it looks interesting, just too small. Check the FAQ at the top of this page for information. If you need more help, don't be afraid to ask . Welcome to our forum!

Thanks for the link, Sarthak, http://www.flickr.com/photos/nature_...ely/479878887/ I hope you don't mind that I posted it here so others have a chance to see your photograph.
This is a nice image. The light coming through the trees is lovely. It seems a little dark for me. Others might not think so. If you have a photo editing program, you could sharpen and bring up the highlights just a bit. Cropping out the road on the bottom left would be good, too.

That is much easier to see.

I agree with Saralonde that the image seems a bit dark (and dull). That should be fairly easy to fix - ask if you want more specific ideas (and say what software you have available).

I would also crop the image down a bit to lose the date stamp and the path at the bottom, taking the opportunity to explore different ways of framing that crack of light.
