The Road Not Taken

Saw your post-re. looking for comments. I'll try my best :)
I gave you a 5 for this image. For me, a 5 is a good quality image ie., focus, exposure, fits the challenge... but lacks any 'punch'. I like the setting that you chose, very pretty road. I think this would have been more interesting with a subject on the road, something/someone that would tell a bit of a story / convey some emotion. Adding an emotional level to the image would have made me pause & have more of a look. Check out the 10th 9th place image by vawendy - she has a similar perspective to yours, but there's the emotion that I'm referring to.
Another way to evoke more emotion is through lighting. If you took this road at sunset, or on a foggy morning... you might have set more of a mood.
Hope this helps!

I have a few bird houses in the hopes of attracting some chickadees... no luck, but they do love my feeder. Very nice picture.

Love that you captured the feathers on the underside of the tail- such a sweet little bird.
