A Moment to Yourself

I was looking through photos taken a few years ago while I was in New Zealand and noticed this one, a shot I was quite pleased with at the time. I like the peaceful, earthy colours. I still like it, but I'm not sure whether this can be counted as a real deviation (i.e. piece of art) or just a snapshot, as it was taken during a holiday when I was mainly enjoying the scenery and not putting the usual effort into taking a good shot. Opinions? Scrap or deviation?

Either way, it brings back fond memories. Sorry about the somewhat poor quality, the camera was an old one.

Taken in Rotorua, New Zealand.
