Path in the woods

A mesmerizing photograph that invites the eye down a lovely auburn path. The image itself seems to spiral into the center left patch of vibrant yellow and green leaves balanced neatly by the dark green patch of foliage. This implied movement is amplified by the trees crossing diagonally in the upper left corner as well as the dramatic slope of the land. The place the eye rests is the highest point of contrast created by the tree cutting across the brightest leaves. My eye is a little overwhelmed by the leaves, which could be fixed with focal depth. Stunning work.
