Winding into spring

[Lintu]

I recently bought a dslr (though it hasn't arrived yet), and I've been browsing through photography sites and going through old P&S pictures. Here's one from the P&S...I was hoping for thoughts on the composition (going for leading lines) and whether it even has enough of a subject to exist as a shot.

Camera Sony DSC-W100
Exposure 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture f/5.6
Focal Length 7.9 mm
ISO Speed 125
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash Off, Did not fire

Theres a leading line, but no real defined subject. Say for instance, if you had some people walking down the path, and you used them as your subject. Maybe zoom in a little more, and place the people on either intersection along the top third. ( Assuming you know the Rule of Thirds ) or, throw the RoT out the window, and center the pathway ( people still there ) have them somewhere further down the path. Possibly making the people fall along that top third, but not necessary. ( This helps if you have willing people to do what you want. ) Also,... the lighting is a bit hard. Golden hour would be great for this.

Thats just my two cents,.... I dont know my camera that well yet,.. but I learn something new every time I use it creatively.

Something else you might try is a different perspective. Get down lower, lat down on the pathway if you must. Try it and see what you think about the results

Shoot this at a different time of day. Sunlight and shadows don't play nicely on a digital camera sensor.
