i dont like shooting nature for some reason, but i like this one. (playing around with exposure times and aperture settings)

Where did you focus? The bright section we are attracted to isn't in focus.
I like what you were trying, but the main focus of the image is dead center. I think, if the situation allowed, shooting landscape orientation and putting the light area off center would greatly increase the impact of the image.

i tried focusing on anything but couldnt really find a focal point, ill go back on the trail and try it again if i can find that same spot

Not sure what kind of camera you're using, but maybe try setting a manual focus point (e.g. setting your camera so the centre focal point is automatically what the camera uses to find focus). Then shoot in "P" mode and you might find it easier to get the camera to focus on something at the top of the path (as opposed to letting it autofocus, I mean).

I did that when trying to shoot a similar scene the other week and it helped. (If you understand my newbie ramblings!)

This would be nicer if you would have moved along the shore, missing those trees.

You composition with both is uninteresting. Try to take photo's at a different height. These fall in the "eye level" height, which is boring. Force the viewer to look at it from a different angle. Down low, up high, crooked, something.

i do have a similar shot where instead of the benches there was a small bench made up of stumps and wood and i turned it into a plaroid transfer, here ill show you the link xAgentxMulderx's Gallery
