Yours is a fine introduction! If you are doing such beautiful work now, there's a lot of promise ahead of you.
Our first impression, without working out what this represents or "is", has to be beauty. Next, the composition catches our attention. It's a simple construct; lines on the track make converge to the horizon. That is a compelling sight.
I really enjoy images that invoke the road or path to somewhere new or unknown. I often write about this as you have used the most powerful over-arching metaphor of any human culture, it's the metaphor of "life as a journey". So, looking at your picture we have no choice but to consider the wonders that might be ahead, no scenes and possibilities as well as risks. Wait, we say, perhaps we are not moving at all, just gazing. We stop for a while to ponder this break in the forest, what then.
Well, something could come from behind or from the front. Should we stay or go to the side or is this railway from another time and not used.
Your picture allows us to exercise our own ideas in a fantasy world you create for us.
Thanks,
Asher

Aw, what a lovely comment. I love the indept analysis. Thank you. =)
Before this image, I had another edit of it which I called "Seek Your Void". I'm not sure if it's visible, but there's a curve in the railroad all the way down. It reminded me of the unknown down the path of life. And, personally, I'm a very curious person, so I'd want to know what was there. I don't think anyone's ever 100% happy; I think there's always something missing in us, so I guess that's why i decided to call the originial "Seek Your Void".
