i typically don't like this sort of processing, but the image is nice. the only gripe i have is the pathway seems a little slanted to the right, like i'm falling over drunk.
but that could just be me.

I quite like this too. mdwsta4 - I think that impression of the slant comes from the diagonal line at the start of the path. Maybe cropping the lower section to the beginning of the wood area might help with that, although I don't find it bothers me too much. I find the sky a little overpowering though and had a bit of an internal battle going on in my eyes jumping from the path to the sky to the path etc etc. Its certainly an interesting image that I keep going back to for another look

Interesting processing - if you tone down the saturation just a touch I think it will be a bit more subtle. The bottom of the shot needs some breathing space which will make the strange angle less disturbing. But overall I like it.
