Greetings from the Critique Club!
First impression: I like the lensbaby effect and your subject matter. The lack if colour where colour is expected adds to the surreal dreamlike effect. No wonder so many commenters want to go down that path and see what's around the corner.
Artistic: I'm a fan of zoomblur and similar effects, so I'm a sucker for the lensbaby here. I might have burned out the hot patches flanking the path about midway as they are a little distracting. Otherwise I love the feel of hurtling through the woods, especially with the oncoming trees in focus and the foreground blurred.
Technical: Composition is a little too centred, but the shape and contrast of the path against the bleached trees help give the illusion of dynamism. And you really can't go wrong with ambient light, like the striping of the trees' shadows on the path ahead.
Overall: I sense a posty metaphor here but I can't express it well enough. Too bad this didn't score higher, I would have thought it an easy 6.
Feel free to PM me with any questions

I apologise, I am new to this and you are "stuck" with my comments. Pls. realise that this is *my* learning curve more than yours!
I have no idea how you took the picture or what you did to it to make it look the way it does, but I love it :-).
Perhaps if the left and right edges could be a bit darker (like the right front corner), putting more focus on the centre and giving a little more contrast. and I am not sure if you could just level it a little? It seems to be tilting to the left, but that may be a trick of the eye due to the coloring as well. |
