I shall start off by saying that this picture is quite aesthetically appealing, the composition, in my opinion, is what makes it stand out. The geometry of the, er, steps/path highlight the distance, adding to the perspective. Another thing I really like about the structure is its symmetry, like the lower half of the picture is smack right in the middle of two edges, and the grassy border tapers away perfectly too. Let's take a look at the visual palette, some might argue that the colors are a bit too drab and dull, and they're not completely wrong, even to display some sort if sadness in the picture, I believe that greens could be a little, just a little, mind you, vibrant, perhaps some radial editing might help. The greys are on point. The sky is slightly off, to be honest. I know that this is an HDR picture, but the effect could've been a little less. The sky seems to pop roughly, which is good, if that's what you were going for. But I think that a slight smoothening filter could enhance the image quite a bit. Nevertheless, brilliant image!

wow, thank you very much for taking the time to offer up a critique! It's always hard to get skies properly in HDR, it's very easy to either end up with too much detail and noise along with it, or no noise but a very overly smooth look instead. It's something I grapple with a lot shot to shot.

You're very welcome! And I get it, really. The balance between detail and noise. It's something which bugs me quite a bit too.
