Default Misty Morning

This was taken at St Andrews, Scotland,



I like the pathway leading in but think i shoud have positioned it coming more from the corner, would this have changed the composition.

Yes, I would have preferred to see the shot taken from more to the right, so the path leads the eye into the image better. Also, a little closer to the tombstones in the foreground. I think that would also give you a more definite subject - the tall structure with the spires.

In the current composition, I would clone out the branches on the right, as I find them distracting. Is there a piece of one on the left also?

I would actually like to have seen it taken from the path, going straight. And agreed with above, those branches are quite distracting.

I can agree with both Krusty and Zbg. I would also have gotten closer to the ground (maybe even laying on my stomach) and shot along the pathway to see how that would look. I do like this as is with the exception of the branches peeking into the frame.
