Description
Yellowstone National Park
Since 1890 people have been dying from falling off the paths or deliberately straying from them. Signs caution visitors of the danger, yet some parents seem to forget that curious children can't read those signs and can easily slip on a wet path. The first recorded death in 1890, in fact, was a seven year old boy. I see a wooden path like this at seventeen years old and still think of Peter Pan--how about a rambunctious four year old wandering without supervision? If one of them decides to walk the plank, they could be dead in moments. Please, pay attention to your children.

Originality Technique ImpactHey!
You wanted me to write you a critique for this one.
As I tell everyone I critique; don't mind the stars, they aren't teaching you anything.
Photographically:
When it comes to you settings, I'm not saying that they are wrong in any way. My suggestion here would be to stop-down on your aperture (going for a higher number), this will give you a better depth of field also give you some more details.
I started out doing the same kind of image-compositions myself. Placing the horizon at the centre of the frame. Think about what you want to show/tell me as a viewer; do you want me to look at the "bridge" or the sky? I think in this image there is more happening with the "bridge" than in the sky, so I would lower my camera so that you're only showing me 1 third of sky and 2 thirds from the horizonline and down.
Post-Processing:
I'm not familiar with the application you used for editing this image, but what I'd like to see here is the follow:
* a slightly brighter bottom third of the image
* a very subtle vignette
* a bump up in contrast and clarity
* also I would sharpen the leading lines of the "bridge" and trees at the horizonline.
Summary:
It seems to me that you got a good eye for this and you should definetly keep that up. I would recommend you to have a look at this youtube clip [link] it'll give you some inspiration and perhaps new ways to think when it comes to becoming a better photographer.
