Very nice interpretation of the theme. Your subjects look natural in the picture and not artifically placed to suit the challenge. A nice picture in B & W as well.

I like the leading lines and the perspective. The vanishing point might be a bit father off. You might have crouched, and taken the shot from further below.
The shadows which come in from the right enhance the path a bit, which is a bit overexposed. It's hard to get this right in a wood, curves in post processing might have helped here.
By the way, there was only one person supposed to be in the shot. 8, nonetheless :)

Comment by basia03:
this challenge is worded to mean there is to be only one person in the image, but i see two - so, i am just leaving this comment and not scoring your picture... it's not a bad picture, but it doesn't belong in the challenge, and i feel that it would be unfair to other participants to score it...

Beautifully murky, nicely sly waldo-figurtes in the shadows middle, had to look hard to dind them. Image itself is a tad too contrasty, I sish the shadows werent quite so blocked. Solid entry.

I really love this. I want to talk with you sometime about your processing of this image. My photo was taken in a similar "bland" setting and I tried for hours to achieve the feeling you've gotten here under basic editing. It is very nice and I admire your skill. :)
