Hello from the Critique Club:
Looking at the shutter speed used for this shot, it clearly was a long exposure and meets the challenge. You did a nice job with your composition, as the pathway provides a strong leading line to the most appealing part of the image, the sky. However, the blue looking sky with clouds doesn’t help communicate the moonlit mood of your title. The post processing of this image is pretty good. This image is unique, as it has three distinct features you could have played with, the sky, the path, and the ground. It would be interesting to play with the post processing of ground to see how it changes the look either darker or lighter. Darkening it would have made the pathway more dominate and provide another feature to look at. Lightening it would have almost made the image look like it was taken at sunset instead of with moonlight. As is, there is some detail in the grass but not enough to hold the viewer’s attention. With 41% of your votes being a 5, that indicates that the voters looked for literally 2-3 seconds and concluded “this picture isn’t bad but it doesn’t have a lot of wow”. Without some object or feature to capture their interest, they just clicked the 5 and moved on.
