Your low POV really makes this shot, John. This POV works especially well with the leaves on the ground. I like how the leaves are viewed closely in the foreground and then gradually fade off into the distance on the road. Gives a great sense of depth. The colors of the leaves on the trees and the sky also add some nice color to the scene.

I always enjoy low angle shots myself and I appreciate this one. Also like your composition with the trail beginning from mid-left and disappearing into the center background, I think. Would have been nice to have some more blue in the sky. Thanks for sharing!
