It is almost here. This is an allee in Huber Woods. This old farm property is now owned by the parks system. I walk past this spot dozens of times each year and it always makes my pause and feel peaceful.
Feedback always welcome!

I really like this image, it delivers the greatness of the trees!
A great shot. Trees are really great and the picture gives you a positive vibe, at least to me. Personal though, I would bring down just a little bit the exposure on the path to give more depth to the end on it, just my preference, still beginner as you already know:)
Thanks Cristian! I agree and appreciate your input.
I think you were the one who said on an earlier post that you struggle with things looking different on different equipment? Regardless - this looks much subtler on my home computer. When I got to work it looks too saturated and bright. I don't know which monitor to trust.
If you're struggling with the display on your home computer, I would recommend some kind of hardware calibrator. Check out "monitor calibration" at B&H Photo for a bunch of items in any price range. I have used a version of DataColor's Spyder for many years, although Apple's newest iMacs have some very fine P3 LCD displays that are quite close to perfect out of the box. I would never trust a work computer ... unless you work for a graphics-related office.
And when you export your images for display on a website or social media, use sRGB for the color space. This will give the best results across the widest range of devices. When processing, however, use the widest gamut possible. Adobe RGB is good.
I'll admit that color calibration and workflow is the weakest link in my setup, although I'm pretty happy with the prints I get from an Epson P800 printer.
I don't remember about different equipment, but till recently i was editing on my laptop which wasn't that bright and all the time my photos were dark, so i decided after editing just send it to my iPhone and check it there it was the only screen i trusted, i still do, as i don't have yet a tool for screen calibration and i don'y think i will buy soon, the iPhone tip works pretty well for me.
ah.. the monitor conundrum.....It is worth paying for a decent monitor. Calibrators are relatively expensive unless you can justify the cost.
Another consideration is printing. It's hard enough to match a print to what is viewed on the screen at the best of times, but if the balance on the display is off then the printed output will obviously look different.
Also, it must be borne in mind that we have little control over what the end viewer sees on their own (uncalibrated) monitors.
If you are using an iPhone to judge image quality you really need to invest in a monitor.
BTW - nice shot Ruth. The icing on the cake would be to have those wonderful leading lines lead to a subject (haycart or child comes to mind).
Very clever of you dropping a spring image on those of us craving for the green up to arrive. Of course that makes the image more appealing.....
you caught me!
Spring indeed! Still snowing off and on here in Utah
