I like "get lost" trips and this road looks like a fun one to explore. Your leading line in meeting this challenge is good. The play on shadows and light is nice and adds depth although there could be more. Perhaps just a tad more contrast would accomplish that.
A portrait orientation may have accentuated the trees some more. I realize the "road" is the subject, but its uninteresting form detracts from the more interesting things in the image. The color needs a boost.
