I don't particularly like the over-saturated reds, but I guess you wanted to make a point with them. Excellent sky in the background, very good B&W conversion, and most of all, very original idea and a pic with a message (a rarity these days). Good job!

This could be a really effective shot if the focus was a bit stronger, either on the walkway or the church.

The bricks feel fake to me. If the path is going to be selected, I'd like to see the whole path in color, weeds and all.

Unfortunately, your focal point is halfway in between the church and the walk in front of the camera. Otherwise, good idea and composition.

Nicely composed but the color to me is too colorful. Maybe partially desat the selective desat?

too red for my taste - really nice angle and creative here though

I Think the red is a little too saturated. IMO... 5

Nice concept, but the whole picture looks kind of soft.

The focus seems a bit soft all over the image. I do like the exposure you got here...and like the selection.

Interesting. Would have liked the church to be a little more in focus.

The focus is off here. You could have chosen to focus on the church or on the immidiate forground, but the focus being halfway down the path does not work.

I really like the idea here and the color, but the only thing IMO would to have the road sharper. Since it is your focal point, I would have the road sharper with the church a little blurry. I think it would have been a more solid picture. I do like the composition however. 7

greater DOF would have helped a lot. slightly less saturated color in the path too.

No wonder people are keeping away :)

Nice idea, however the photo appears to be blurry.

Really good point of view - excellent idea - the focus is REALLY a problem in this image which is a shame.

nothing really sharp here; the path is oversaturated.
