Thank you Dave. It was quite a busy park and i got frustrated waiting for people to pass. was hoping to crop them out on PP. This was the best shot so far without people in it.
This second shot is much better. More drama and contrast. I like the leading line/road curving in and away.

Thank you so much for your repply and yes indeed there is a lot to take in but i'm taking baby steps as adviced. i can tell you that i have better knowledge today than i did yesterday, woohoo!! i'm stocked that you rated my image above average! didnt see that one coming. I bought my first photography book at the imaging USA event, titled 'Picture perfect practice' by Roberto Valenzuela. i must say i never thought i'd enjoy reading a photography book but this is just great!. My next task is post processing skills, i still find photoshop intimidating but i'll get there.

MegTee both of your images show a wonderful application of vanishing point perspective and how it creates an illusion of depth in two dimensional space.... you are well on your way to mastering renderings in a two dimensional art form...
I wish you all the best on your journey...

Aside from waiting for sidelight from setting sun, try cropping to vertical and bring down the highlights in the sky. Experiment with B&W to emphasize the graphics. The dominant foreground tree and the S-curved sidewalk are good compositional elements and need to be the "focus".

Hi everyone, this is my first picture post here as an amateur photographer. I would love a critical opinion of this shot and what i can do to make it better either onsite or with photoshop. I wanted to get a dramatic view of all the trees lined up but the sun wasn't cooperating with me. how can i get a better shot next time? thank you
Since your facing the sun and it seems to be low in the sky you have a blown out highlight right in the upper middle of your image. You may consider using a Circular Polarized filter next time you shoot into the sun. I did some quick highlight adjustments in the copy of PSE on my workstation at work but I could have done much better in Photoshop at home.

A polarizer isn’t going to do much shooting into the sun. It works best with the sun at right angles to the direction of the shot.

MegTee,
I am new to this forum and I have not read all the comments.
I really like this shot but would suggest that you try other camera angles to see if you can get a more dramatic representation. Another thought I had was to shoot it in portrait mode. This would allow you to eliminate some distractions.
I liker the interaction of the line of trees and line of cars on the opposite side of the road.
Thanks for posting it.
