The winding line provides a nice visual path here, which is complemented nicely by the trees. The greens on the right hand slope do look a bit bright/oversaturated, though.

Thanks, Anish. I've de-saturated the greens and tried to lighten the image.
I de-saturated by going to the ADJUST COLOR section and moving the
saturation slider to the left for green. I would appreciate your follow up
opinion as well as the opinions of other critics.

it does look more natural now, but the challenge here is that you've got direct overhead light which is very difficult to photograph well. also, is the RAW file sharp? if so, perhaps try some different sharpening techniques as i'm seeing some fuzziness here that makes it hard to appreciate some of the details in this image.
Robert, I like the second version here, especially the comp and colors. However, I also struggle with the sharpness aspect that Anish has mentioned. Otherwise, a very nice open country shot IMO.
