Maybe a little too much detail and business for this size, my eye is not really being drawn to any part of the scene. The horizon strikes me as too centered in the frame. I think it's a great scene and just moving a little bit for a different perspective could have made a huge difference.

What an intriguing path - is that a desert garden? Your image makes me want to be there, which is a good thing :)

I am enjoying how well you handled the sky and clouds. As a composition, the winding trail provides the most interest. I have a hard time deciding if this is mostly about the trail, or mostly about the vast broad landscape with big sky and endless cacti. From this vantage point, putting emphasis on the trail might work wello (using a portrait crop). Wonder if there was an opportunity during shooting to step to the right enough to make the path more of a diagonal element.

a lovely scene - the sky is so rich and blue, earthy tones from the cactus and sandy soil - i wonder if a slightly different angle to further accentuate the path back (it is obscured in a few spots) would provide more of a path for our eyes to get into the scene
