A path shot

Just wondering what people think of this shot. It would be pretty typical of my stuff. I kinda like it. Thanks - John.

John,
Nice image and great composition. I like the leading lines and that the end point of the lines is brighter than the rest of the image. I also like that you have a person in the image to provide some scale and human interest. It tells a nice story of someone walking from the cold, dark area to a brighter one (spring perhaps -- wishful thinking). I do not personally care for the yellow cast to the image, but suspect this was intentional. Perhaps it adds to the mood of the image, I'm not sure. Anyway, I really like the composition and leading lines. Well done.

Happy Shooting.
Tim

Beautiful image. Only one thing I can see is that the lamppost seems to be leaning just a tiny bit to the right, but that could be an optical illusion. I love the mood it conveys.

I love the branches that seem to come out towards the walker in the woods..gives a sinister feel...tells a story. If this is what attracts you to this picture, yellow (a feel good color) may not be what you want. Try this in an icy grey blue for an ominous feeling. Other than that...great shot!

I like the composition and the subject placement, it sits in a nice place in the frame and isn't too centered. I think I'd like it more without the lamp post, but I realize that that's what's casting the light around your subject, so I guess you can't really get rid of that. Overall, it has a nice feel to it. Nice job!

Very cool shot. The fact that yellow is not the "expected" color here doesn't necessarily bother me personally - I tend to gravitate toward shots that use an interesting juxtaposition of two usually unrelated subjects or emotions. So for me it works, although I do understand where the others are coming from.

I think an interesting alternative composition here would have been to lower your perspective so that you were shooting from almost on the ground. This angle would have framed the walker more within the opening at the end of the path. Not a better choice, just a different one to play with.

I like it. I like the composition and concept. There seems to be a greenish color cast on the left side - I don't know if that was intentional.

I like artsgirl's suggestion also.

I like this shot as well. I agree the composition is very nice. Perhaps the color is a bit yellow but it seems to convey mood you were probably trying to achieve...but you do have to watch out for the "yellow" snow

Personally I hate this shot..


No, only kidding, I'm just jealous it isn't one of mine I like the yellow hue.. I'd agree on the leaning lamp, but the walker is upright, which seems more sensible.. Perhaps someone leaned on the lamppost too heavily..

That's what I like about this kind of photo.. I'm already adding details to the story that aren't there..

Only complaint I have is that you left out the exif data
