@luchyl no — not the plantain trees down the hill. The issue is edge distraction in general: bright or high-contrast elements near the frame edge pull the eye out of the photo, especially when your main subject is the road acting as a leading line, which is exactly the composition problem described by Adobe Lightroom Academy and ExpertPhotography. In your latest edited reply, if you already cropped out the pawpaw and branch clutter, then that earlier distraction is gone; the plantains read as part of the landscape, not a mistake.

But you saw the images I shared with you na. Was there any of the things you pointed out? Or do you think I should dim the color a bit?
@luchyl from what you shared, the big distraction I mentioned earlier looks handled in your final edit and your follow-up image reply too, so I wouldn’t keep chasing ghosts here. I’d only dim the color a bit if the greens at the edge feel louder than the road; subtle local darkening or desaturation is the right move, not a global flattening of the whole image, which lines up with this editing advice from Zoner. In short: no major problem left, just maybe pull back saturation a touch on the side foliage if your eye keeps leaving the road.
