Riding down the Greenbelt in Boise, ID taking photos. I played with the colors on this...if you couldn't tell...by turning up the shadows and the fill light.

nice pic seems a little pale though
03/17/2009 09:39:32 AM
That looks like a typical Dutch cycle path.(heel Hollands)
Nice composition with the eyes being led into the picture by the path. Nice pastel colors too.
03/16/2009 06:48:07 PM
Well composed, but the colours seem flat.
03/16/2009 12:44:39 PM
I can't find where your focus is. Also steonger colors would help this photo because it's a very nice idea.
03/16/2009 11:30:44 AM
To me this is a little dull, it's not very sharp, nor saturated, but I do know that I have a personal bias against pics with a road/path right down the center of them, I'm just not generally a fan of the subject I suppose.
03/15/2009 09:59:00 PM
Nice and bright. Good lines.
03/15/2009 08:48:13 PM
Nice shot. I like the bending line of the path.
03/15/2009 03:09:37 PM
too bad the light was so flat
03/15/2009 11:25:33 AM
nice lines and curves in this image
03/15/2009 11:18:08 AM
I like the composition but feel the color and focus are off
03/15/2009 10:09:25 AM
Beautiful trees and leading lines of the road. Photo seems a bit overexposed.
03/15/2009 06:49:06 AM
ehm.. how to say it... maybe I just ask: is it really your best capture?

I dont want to be rude and please dont take it personally but its a bit boring.. maybe if there was at least a bicycle (since is "cycling" in the park...)...

Ive found it empty.. .


thx, brano ;)
03/14/2009 11:13:46 PM
colors a little flat but a nice image all the same
03/14/2009 08:09:01 PM
Good composition. A little lighter than I would do.
03/14/2009 07:27:29 PM
Love the winding path through the trees, with the fallen leaves on either side. There is a muted tone to this that I find a bit disturbing - just a bit paler than ti should be or something.
03/14/2009 02:46:59 PM
On 'yer left!

Seems a little bright and slightly washed out, but a pleasant scene that I too, enjoy. I really need to get on my bike more this year.
03/14/2009 10:39:08 AM
Feels a little washed out.
03/14/2009 12:27:09 AM
The colors are too washed out on my screen. The perspective is OK , but the overall image needs to include a interesting object, subject to appeal more to the audience.
03/13/2009 09:59:00 PM
Where is the cycle?
03/13/2009 06:22:09 PM
I would like to see a bit more contrast in this shot - I feel it would make it stronger.
03/13/2009 02:51:58 PM
This is a nice path that draws my eyes into the picture. However, the picture appears to be over-exposed. It is very bright and that seems to distract from it.
03/13/2009 02:35:46 PM
Simply beautiful!!! 7
03/13/2009 01:52:41 PM
i like the winding trail, but in my opinion this shot could benefit from a little more contrast.
03/13/2009 01:02:01 PM
The left side of the image feels much more in focus than the right side. The colors are a little strange and disconnecting.
03/13/2009 11:28:30 AM
wow, this is beautiful
03/13/2009 07:04:12 AM
Must have been a very nice ride! I like how the path slowly disappears.
03/13/2009 02:04:55 AM
I like the setting and the implied (by title) context. A bit more contrast would make this image pop.
03/13/2009 02:01:22 AM
This looks like a great path to ride - smooth, quiet, lovely views - I'm envious!
03/13/2009 12:02:44 AM
The trail is very inviting to the eye, but the image could have used a little more contrast.
03/12/2009 11:19:22 PM
Good pic. Seems like the left side of the pic is in focus but not the right.
03/12/2009 09:19:27 PM
A nice enough shot, but not much wow factor. The title implies, I guess, the photographer's perspective.
03/12/2009 08:13:11 PM
no so interesting - the light is also to harsh
03/12/2009 07:37:11 PM
Looks a little faded. Maybe a bit more color saturation would have helped. Nicely composed though.
03/12/2009 04:07:56 PM
Interesting lighting, it looks like the sky is opening up for the day.
03/12/2009 03:57:36 PM
Some details are missing, but I'm sure it is just due to downsizing. Great colors.
03/12/2009 01:35:34 PM
good use of vanishing point, but processing does nothing for me.
Looks washed out.
03/12/2009 12:47:13 PM
Good perspective.
03/12/2009 09:58:32 AM
Interesting line of the road to lead you through the shot
03/12/2009 09:42:43 AM
a little over exposed, and lacking in contrast.
03/12/2009 02:14:21 AM
Lighting feels a bit flat and the leaves at the right seem blurry compared to those at the left
03/12/2009 01:27:08 AM
I feel a chill inside
03/11/2009 07:01:13 PM
Well exposed. I like the dreary feel.
03/11/2009 04:08:29 PM
There's a feeling of Alice and Wonderland here. I like it!
03/11/2009 02:32:50 PM
really great path...I like how it leads you through the picture and I like the touches of green amongst the brown
03/11/2009 01:11:49 PM
Needs some contrast
03/11/2009 09:56:15 AM
I think that tilting your camera down to make the sky only the top third, or perhaps shooting from ground level would have made this a more interesting shot. As it stands, perhaps a little overexposed. The idea of the line works, though!
03/11/2009 09:55:12 AM
Bad lighting here. Lots of problems. Would have been better to put it in black and white.
03/11/2009 09:43:30 AM
grass looks un natural color
03/11/2009 08:53:27 AM
Based on the title it would have been nice to see some indication of the bicycle. Seems a bit softer on the right than the left. Perhaps a focus issue.
03/11/2009 08:47:00 AM
The path through the woods would be a better title, I looked again thinking I had missed the cyclist.
Looks like a cold grey day.
03/11/2009 12:08:39 AM
I like the curving path leading me in, the sky is a bit harsh though
