Is this a composite? (focus stacks or exposure blends are not considered composites)No, a single image

That is a great moment in the woods. It gives an ‘out of the darkness into the light’ feeling. To emphasise this even more my suggestion is a slight crop top and bottom. At the top just below the light patch, at the bottom just above the light patches. Beautiful light rays and I like the subdued colours.
Hi John, yes this is a beautiful scene and well captured. The sunlight streaming through the trees really make the image pop. Composition is great…liking your vertical orientation, curving road, and inclusion of the slope on the left. My only other thought is I’d like to see the exposure increased a bit, without affecting the sunrays too much.
This use to be a road, now free of all but emergency and occasional work vehicles. This 200A gem of a park is right in the middle of Montpelier, accessible by numerous trails and heavily used.
Beautiful serene scene John. I really like the warm green spots that are spot lit from the sun rays on the left side of the road. This scene makes me wonder what around the corner. It has a little bit of mystery to it. I can see why you chose this image to post for the weekly challenge.
A gorgeous capture, well processed! I thin the crop suggestion by @Igor_Hoveijn is worth considering but only to make an outstanding image even better! (What is the superlative? Outstandinger…?)
The idea certainly has merit. Thank you Igor , for the suggestion and Diane for the prompt. I walked on this road (no cars nowadays) yesterday in a foot of snow; it too was lovely but not a photo op.
