    I find that the fencing cuts off the image without adding anything to the over all picture. I do like the wildgrass and path .
    Too bad all the people who know how to run this country are busy running taxicabs or cutting hair.

    I like the shot the fence is very distracting. I would also try highlighting the blue flowers a bit more it would be nice if they jumped out, they are a nice part if the image but are getting lost in the grass.

    Re: Secret path

    If you go by here regularly, try to get a shot when the light is better and then I think those blue flowers and the trail will stand out better.
    The fence isn't helping but might if you pull back and get more of it with the trail showing through the rails.
    I think I see what you're after and I'd really like to see what happens with better light.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Secret path

    I think you have some good suggestions and comments here already. I agree that the fence, especially out of focus like it is gets in the way rather than set up the subject which is what I think you wabnted to do.
    The wildgrass and flowers are nice and the subtle path interesting.

    I agree with the others Rick. Crop out the botttom and the right side. The path and is very interesting by itself.

    Rick - well it could be a case where something looks great in real life but doesn't transfer to media as well. The fence is incredibly distracting, but even w/o it there really isn't much there. Sor-ry!
