Hi David,
I like the shadow on the path. And the composition with the leading path, the water and the tree left is impressing. And the sky is natural in an excellent way. TFS

Hey David!
Very nice shot of the park's trail and scene - it has been a long long time since I was visiting it there (around 99 I think...), and I live 10' drive from it...a shame, I know.
Good take of the long path, leading the eye into the picture and toward the vegetation. Lighting is a bit harsh and, but I guess that that's something you had to manage when you reached the park...
Composition is really nice and effective - wished there was a person move along to give some sense of perspective, but I know that many times it is too much to ask...
Well done!
TFS!

The path makes a very strong and powerful lead-in to the image and the repeating pattern of the stones adds a lot of extra interest to it. The tree on the left with its shadow makes a good frame too. The hint of water on the right leaves us wanting to jknow more.

Hello David,
The small alley helps very much the perspective to see the whole composition.Nice play with light and shadows and warm natural colors all around.A very good one!

Best wishes,
Thomas

Hi David,
Great perspective formed by the way that takes the look to us very far.
You have worked perfectly the exposure, and the result is a good balance of the light and a few beautiful shades. The contrast between the colors, especially between the green one of the vegetation, the tone of the land, and the blue of the sky is very agreeable, and has a lot of graphical force.
Well done.
Regards,
Josep

Hi David,
I really like the way you've framed this shot with the path leading us along the reeds of the river. The red of the path and the green of the reeds are a nice contrast. I also like the diagonal of the shadow across the beginning of the path; I think the compo would not have such great DOF with out this shadow play.
Regards, Pat

Merhaba David...
It's a beautiful point of view and wonderful perspective... It's a beautiful pastoral composition... The colors, the light and the shadow of the trees on the footpath are perfect...
TFS...
Stay well..
Salim.

Hello David
The brown-and-green landscape in September reminds me some Portuguese areas.
I like the way the path goes to the deep of the picture.
I like also the shadow in foreground.
Regards,
Francisco

Hi David,
Love the shadows on the path that leads down to the lonely tree and beautiful blue sky.
Happy, Healty New Year to you and your family from mine.
