 A road, a foggy morning, me with my camera...

Had to learn how to use the timer and count for this one... :)

Edits: levels, crop, desat, channel mixer, curves, thats it.

________________________________

Interesting results. :) I was pleasantly surprised by the score. There was a lot of work I wanted to do on this one but was limited by basic editing. To be honest, I took one with no-one in the image, one with her/me walking down the road, and this one. I chose this one. Why? The other two are common and expected. I wanted the viewer to be uncomfortable. I wanted the tension. Maybe some of you got it, maybe some didn't. Ah well... I will post the adv. edited one here soon. Thanks for comments and voting!

Fantastic. The feel of this shot puts me in the spot; the road, the pavement, the trees, the wide-openess, one of my favorites for sure. I like the fact you are looking back at the camera, although it might work if you were walking away from the camera down the road.

I find the girl in the picture distracting because of the placement. To me she would have looked better on the opposite side because as I try to look at this road my eye keeps being drawn back to the woman who I don't believe is supposed to be the focal point of the photo. It is almost disturbing. The eye tends to go from right to left and having her on the opposite tree would have made it possible to take in the road and the woman. Although this might have been the effect you were seeking.

The person behind the tree takes one out of the photograph, would be better if person was walkind down the middle( or right side framed by the distant archway ) of the road past the middle of the photograph

Slightly out of focus, the black and white adds to the misty feeling. The girl against the tree draws away from the subject. Perhaps just me, I would of sent her down the road to about the third tree on the right about center of the road, walking of into the mist.

Seems a bit slanted to me? Or maybe it is the leading lines - very hard for me to tell!

This reminds me of the tree lined roads in northern france, and I almost expect to see an old Citroen 2CV spluttering along the road.

Not sure you made best use of the girl in the photo, she is there but at the same time is really of no real focus. Shame.

great artistic shot. the leading lines led my eyes away from the woman. having her walk in the opposite direction, about to dissapear behind a tree, was brilliant.

the girl looks too posed and takes away from the pretty road

I really like this photo but interestingly I don't think the woman adds anything - I'm kind of wondering what she doing?, etc.

Very very nice. The perspective and lines keep you bounded at the covergence point, but you also take notice of the girl. I like the angle as well.

great, but in my opinion it would be better without the "actress" :-)
