A nice photo...did you use a texture layer in this shot? I would love to know what camera settings you used to capture this.

a beautiful serene location but this image appears cluttered for us viewers - and i think the processing actually makes that cluttered feel a bit more pronounced

The Darken Path

the concept of shooting the path at night really works for me, but the fact that the image is fuzzy and that the horizon appears to be askew really takes away from the image. I think a better perspective to draw the viewer in would be to leverage the path to pull our eyes into the scene

I will be honest here....Clearly this shot shows some darkness but i don't see a specific subject to really hold interest. The shot appears to have been fired into the neighborhood from a front porch of a house with the flash on creating a very snapshot feel. Placing the camera on a tripod or other steady surface, turning off the flash, and setting the camera on a timer would allow for a much less 'snapshot' feel.

lovely light - well captured intimate portrait - it separates itself from the great majority of other portraits in the challenge with a realistic feel

nice choice of high contrast to really pull out the individual rocks and provide good interest to the foreground

very moody image - i love how the trees seem to reach up and out and overwhelm the scene
