Ooh how lovely! I love the ambience (for lack of a better word) of this image. I like the way this conveys stories of abandoned lives and nature taking back what man once took from it. I like the composition - the nail off-centred, the diagonals of the wood leading backwards in a line towards the verticals of the forest tree trunks and the light - lovely light. Shame about the touch of blowout where the main area of light comes through the trees but... it doesnt hurt it too much. This is cool!

Pretty harsh CA. Since the solution isn't allowed in basic editing I think I would have tried a B&W or toned approach.

nice pic but the chromatic aberration is really bad along the chain and the back, You probably used a cheap zoom lens. i think you should be careful taking pics with a large contrasts and a telezoomlens
