Very nice. I'd prefer it without the slight tilt.

Great shot...I love the originality of it. Bumped it from 8 to 9.
What really makes this pic - the splash of color from the people, the foggy trees in the background, the composition, DOF.......
The only thing I might have changed would be to rotate it a touch to the left to bring the trees a drop straighter.

Great shot - I think though I'd like to see the it tilted to the left a fraction: the only thing to giive any guide to horizontal/vertical, given the convergence of the tree-trunks, is where the people are: I'm sure it would actually be inaccurate to reality, but it would not have the oddness of the feeling of wanting to tilt my head whilst looking at this shot.

I like this..the curves and texture are amazing. However I think the light might be a tad harsh. It almost makes me want to squint while I look at the shot. :)

Great texture, just seems to lack a focal point.

Ah, thank you for the nostalgic visit. I can almost smell the misty forest air. Great idea to include the strolling people for relational perspective.
