The darkening on the top and the halos around the trees are taking a little out of this for me. I love the treatment of the tracks, though. Averages out to a 7, but I think it could have been an 8 or 9 if the top had worked out better.

Very stylized processing but I think for this photo it works.

Not sure about the PP, but it might grow on me.
