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

Looking up from under the ice? Ah. I see I'm not the only one who sees it that way!

For some reason this reminds me of an image of DNA unraveling, which I guess after all is just a different type of dance!! Beautiful.
