I re-edited this image as a low key version. I don't know how successful this image is but I do like it better than the original.

I like this crop a lot better but in turning it to a low key image, I'm afraid it got muddied a bit in it's tonality.

It was a trade-off in how much to brighten it. It's a little better on my screen but still kind of dark. I just wondered about the impressions of this edit.
thanks.

Cloning might be a bit too harsh but I still say the crop using the two main trees, following the trail, is the one

I prefer this crop, though brightness and shadow contrast need a boost

I also like this crop better....and agree with a contrast boost.
Might even take more off the left to use the two main trees as framing.

Nice framing. I actually prefer the original. I think that the light spots appear as stepping stones inviting one to take a walk down this path.
