Picture taken at Muirwood National Park which is north of Golden Gate Bridge off Highway 1. It was January or in Febraury, early morning when the park just opened. You can see there are no people at that time of the day, and plus it was drizzling..
Pictures of paths always attract me. I suppose we are all on some path. I like your composition with some reservations. It would be stronger for me with a little more space on the right, and less magenta on the ground, and darken the hanging branch on the top left. Just my opinion. I also make music (sax), and of course Ansel Adams played the piano. It all comes from the same place. Gil
