Processed this a few weeks ago but I've been sitting on it, kind of on the fence about whether or not it's a keeper. Opinions or suggestions? Any comments greatly appreciated!
17-40 @ 33mm, f/8, 1/8s & 1/30s, ISO 100, two exposures blended w/ luminosity masks.
The light is really delicious here, as someone who's spent a lot of time in the oak foothills at this time of day, I really enjoy it. But, at the same time, for someone who isn't particularly in love with this kind of landscape, it doesn't have a component of unique grandeur that will grab them. The leaning trees on the left a slightly problematic, but not overly so. I'm not sure any of that helps, since I basically contradicted everything I said, so I guess I'm on the fence too...

I like this and think this could be a marketable image. The first thing that came to mind was pharmaceutical ads. I think because of the golden backlighting.

It's a sweet image. It's not the strongest image in the world, but the light is really sweet.

It's a pretty scenic, Mat. I like the way the trail curves into the background.
I also like the contrast between the foreground tree where I see most of the
dark tree trunk and branches and the middle ground tree that is fully leafed
out in spring green.
