Hi Sean, greetings from the Critique Club!
Well, for first impression, I must say it's a hell of a great way to use negative space...with being negative indeed!
Composition
The best part of this shot. I scored it a 7 because the way you framed the street is so well done. You used the trees to divert the attention of the viewers, and making them look down.
Processing
I can see you understand the tools you used and also the usage for them, it really adds a lot to the image.
The passage from greens to reds, with the mixture in the lower half is really great.
The detail on the leaves is very good and the mixture of all colours adds so much life to this photo.
Overall
A 6+ shot, that unfortunately did not score higher because maybe viewers were expecting big cities, but a great photo nonetheless.
Congratulations!
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao |

| 7 from me but that is an aside. I see you're back in action on the road again... must be better. Keep well, be good, make sure they have a good opinion of America... |

| I'm guessing the 1s and the two may have been DNMCs. But this really was the main street in Toubacouda, a village in southern Senegal just shy of the border with The Gambia. I'm very pleased with the ranking, but just a bit disappointed I didn't do well enough to get it into my top four. |

| When this first loaded I thought it was a shot of just trees. I would have cropped off some of the top, the bottom is far more interesting. |

| Nice green tones, trees overpower the road a bit much |

| Pretty cool main street. About as rural as one can get; something I'm not use to. Great framing with the huge trees. |
