Default tree tunnel

This tree tunnel is located on a lane close to my home. I loved it in color so decided to try B&W, then with my daughter in it. Not sure the compostion is correct. I wanted her in it but also wanted the view of the tunnel. I am still learning. Any suggestions?

Welcome to DPS.....
I absolutely love the first one in color and in black and white.....these tree tunnels remind me of back East......These are really good.

I would be interested to see what it would look like if you had your daughter in the same perspective as the first picture. It would mean the difference of your daughter was about to emerge from the tunnel, or further back looking at the light at the end of the tunnel. If that makes any sense at all...Gorgeous green color of the trees, but the image is different in black and white, the feel of it is more darkness into light.

Couldn't decide which one I liked the most

What an awesome place to have so close to home. This is just fantastic and you captured it so beautifully. I love #1 and #3 the best but really all four are fabulous!

I love tree tunnels. I like the one with your daughter in it. I do prefer the color shots, not sure why. I think it may just "feel" like a happier photo to me.

I liked #1 and #3. The longer view with the slight curve in the road added character and "activity" or "motion" to the scene. Beautiful!

Welcome to DPS, I like your captures, and Your Daughter in the last frame works very well, I might suggest that you clone out the signs in the background if you can, it will make a Good picture even better. You have a good eye and your composition is very nice.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.
