this is a very well done photo.. the black and white is very strong... something seems to be slightly strange about the focus or the sharpness though.. i can't really put my finger on it tho... - setzler

good capture... the color seems a little flat in this shot... maybe a saturation and contrast bump would bring it up just a little... - setzler

Follow the brick road

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Wildblue....

I think black and white was a good choice for this photo... the contrast is very strong for sure, and that usually lends well to monochromatic images. The 'from above' theme here seems to be just a little weak. I can see that I'm looking down hill though, but the overall impact of that angle doesn't seem to really grab my attention very well.

Another issue, in my opinion, with this photo is the lack of a strong subject or single focal point of the photo. The wall leads my eye into the photo but there is nothing of interest at the end of the line. The title also leads my mind to believe that there should be something there... something to see at the end of the 'brick road' :)

This is an excellent shot and the toning is also very nice... The environment you chose here for this photo may be just a little 'busy' because of the sharp contrasts in the background... great shot though :) - setzler
