Hello there and "Welcome to the community" I hope you enjoy your time here. Ok now for your image, not sure what you would like us to critique about in this image so I will just go for it, in my humble opinion it's a nice image, the sky looks too blown for my liking and I am really not sure about the overall softness of the image. I really like the composition and would love to have seen you move down a bit and capture the colors in the trees where "Fall" is settling in. If this were mine I think I would have got low to the floor with the lens pointing a little more down the road and captured the colors in the trees further down. However thats just me and I am not expert for sure I would love to see more of your images here, especially more capturing the Autumn colors. I look forward to seeing more soon.
Have a great weekend.
David.

I like the soft focus of the image and the composition. The only thing that bugs me is the sky. It looks really white, but there is a pink outline around the trees or something. If you could add some blue to it it would enhance it a lot. Also, there is a black spot in the lower right corner that could be cloned out. Other than that, it looks great!

Its an interesting picture. It almost has the effect of being taken whilst driving at some speed adding a slightly blurred effect.
I like the overall effect.
