Walk the Plank

What do you think?

I would crop the top off to get rid of the trail and log. Then up the contrast a little to get some nice black shadows OR with the same crop I would try the photo in B&W for an even more abstract look.

Good subject and eye on this photo...I would just go tighter to give it more interest.

Cheers.

I would only crop off the brighter part of the trail at the top and only the more noticeable parts of the log: front and back. The shadow across the top area of the planks should be reduced to the level of some of the shadows further toward the viewer.
Shape of the planks and the texture of the leaves are the main elements. Anything else is a major or minor distraction.

I did a little of what you all said. The burning might be too harsh on the branch on the top left. A little more contrast in there and a tighter crop.

Xsport,

That redo that you have posted is superb. You fixed everything I noticed originally and you made an average picture into a great picture. Love the title too...well done,

I like the texture and subtle color of your subject but wonder about the composition. The perspective here leads the eye right through the frame and out the top. I'd try a diagonal composition with this subject rather than this centered presentation.

The texture and color is really nice. Great eye!

The composition is fine to me but I wonder if we should see the planks end at the top or crop the top so it runs off the photo.

This photo has to be really nice in b&w. Consider posting that version for us?

Really nice!

I'd get a wide angle lens and place the camera low near the boards. It will stretch the boards out lengthwise and amplify their meaning in the photo. I don't think the log really detracts from the image. Depending on what the path looked like, I think it would be important to keep the path in the image since that's what the logs are a part of. Cutting out everything but the logs makes the image too simple.

Oh My... So many textures.
I would have cropped tighter, but then, thats me....
I would keep the warm woodland autumnal tones as well, like em a lot.

Nice work.

You asked for it and you got it.

[ChowChi-Ching]

Love the black and white but I like all the images! Good job!!

[amithi]

I definitely like the last two versions the most... Great eye!

Gotta say, Love the last color above, you have retained the warmth and the softness, the heady gentleness that autumnal colors share with us, yet keeps us tightly focused on the path ahead, and to where it leads? Who knows, Yes, I love it.
