| This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club: 
 composition: A bit offputting with the horizon being dead center.  maybe more of the path could have been included to tie in with the title better.
 
 color: I love the neutral tones, very pleasing and just perfect for the scene
 
 contrast: contrast could have been too soft for some, but I think it fits the mood quite well.  a very peaceful and serene spot
 
 focus: very nice and even across the entire scene presented
 
 depth of field: I like the use of a wide aperture, it gives the photo a soft yet sharp look.
 
 lighting: I would suggest the fill light as well, or a bump in shadows in photoshop.  perhaps it would have given this photo more kick.  but a very nice sunset in the background
 
 other: All in all, i think this was a nice image.  But nothing popped off the image or made me go, "WOA!".  i think that's why most voters gave this an average or lower score.  But, for technical processes props, you did very well in my eye.  just try different compositions when viewing a scene, and give it a whirl.   Hope this helped you some, if you have any more questions, feel free to PM me.  keep shooting!
 -Kari Ann
