Wow. Excellent shot, it almost looks like a painting. The colors seem a bit overdone, or actually the image is dark. I bet if it was brightened up the colors would work perfectly, imo.

Laters...

Beautiful colors, nice use of leading lines. This must have been tough not to overexpose the sky -- Nice job. The color of the leaves does appear super saturated, but depending on the light maybe that's how it looked? Overall, a beautiful picture.

I absolutely love the super-saturation! Sometimes real life doesn't look like real life and that's when it's the most beautiful!

I like the colors and the people on the path. Good composition. I find myself following the path out to the hole in the back, when my eyes would rather stay and look at the couple in the foreground. Maybe you could darken it up back there or clone in some trees/color to give it a border. Or maybe I'm crazy. Or maybe you want us to walk right out the back end of the photo! Just some ideas.

Really love the colours and the excellent composition of the road leading onwards. And also the tiny bit of contrast from the small amount of green on the far right. Nice shot.

lovely image, nathan.....

at first blush, this shot does seem to be over saturated.....but, when i took the time to view the larger file, i realised that .....nope.....the color is right on....

thanks
