Hi, Mona,

You've got a nice, welcoming scene here. The colours are clear. I like the blues, especially. The greens and the browns could have a little more saturation to make them more vivid, although the colours you post here are probably very accurate.

The composition is pleasant, too. The path provides a nice leading line through the photo. The tree on the right and the lamp on the left provide a nice, natural border for the path.

In terms of this challenge, I don't think that you used shadows well enough to be the main feature of the photo. Certainly, there are shadows present, but they don't add or subtract from the shot. I think that this is the main reason why your shot scored so lowly at the end. It just didn't meet the challenge in most voters minds, I suppose.

Also, although it is lovely, it is rather dull. There's nothing of special interest here. You need to focus on just one aspect of the scene (for the challenge, I would have recommended the shadow) and find a composition and lighting combination that would have produced a more dramatic effect.

Best wishes,

Jim
