i know these picture is not perfect (so don't be cruel) but i'd like to have your opinion

the opposite perspective of the sky and the pathway is interesting. thnks for sharing.

Nick (Nick) added a critique 10 months ago:

The path is interesting ( I wonder why it is there?). I would have like it better if it came out of the bottom, instead of starting inside the image. So perhaps a little higher crop.

you're maybe right nick.
this path is in a forest called fagne de poleur in south-east of Belgium

KidJim (Jean Marc Veliscek) added a critique 10 months ago:

Interesting image, I like it - I like the engaging lines made by the path and continuation with open sky, really draws you in the image. The forest on both sides adds mystery.the b&w is fine.
I think Nick's recommendation regarding the crop is great !
like opening a wider door in your image..

I like it! B&W was definitely the right choice here, it makes much more graphic impact. And I agree with Nick, I would crop it higher also.

crahan (Thomas Bouve) added a critique 9 months ago:

I agree with Nick with regard to the higher crop. If you crop it so the path appears to go on outside of the image it would be better.

Also try to clone out the little branch in the sky. With those two edits I think you would have a perfect image. The sky and the path complement each other perfectly. Good composition though and nice black and white conversion!

selaux (Sarah) added a critique 9 months ago:

i disagree with the crop idea. I think that letting me see the start of the path makes me even more curious to see where and how far it goes. I feel like its a metaphor for the start of a great journey and i dont know where it is taking me or how long it will last. B&W is very effective. Nice work.

grahambo (Graham Siebe) added a critique 9 months ago:

I agree with Nick too. The little bit of dirt at the bottom draws my eye out of the picture.

It might be interesting to crop it down so the horizon is in the middle of the photo. It would put more emphasis on the lines going to infinity.
