I like the image,however one must be careful with the placement of the main subject. I find myself competing with the idea of what's around the bend in the distance and the subject in the foreground. maybe a shallower DOF is needed to lock in the viewer. DOF(settings) and Placement can make or break an image. This one is border line. Remedy: try applying some Gaussian blur in the background to centralize the main focus. Again i like this image.
