Winding Path

Taken at the Hong Kong Wetland Park.

 

I was wondering about the position of the walkway. Originally, I

framed the photo so that the walkway extended all the way down to the

lower left corner of the photo to create a path for the eye to

follow. But afterwards, I decided to crop higher and have the walkway

slightly off center (and to give the photo a more pano-effect). Does

it work?

Without seeing the other version, this wide version works very nicely I.M.O. Well done!!

Here's the Corner version

compositionally it really works with the "s" curve, but the light is a little flat.

The wider version looks more aestetic and well balanced to me. Nice shot!

Very natural feel, for me I would have shot it the way you present it here although lowering the camera might also produce an interesting perspective.

Both versions appear effective to me. The washed out area of sky is a bit detracting, but the pano composition minimizes this area. It would be interesting to see this same composition front-lit. Anyway, well done. -Clayton

Very appealing shot. I like the reflection of the path. Lighting could be nicer with more brightness on everything, but I do like the composition. Nice curve.

I happen to like the second version better..it says I have a beginning and the end..the first one somehow seems cut off to me. Good picture..but the sky is a little washed out..maybe next time do a bracketing ..and get serveral exposures.

It was a pretty hazy day and you're seeing the sky as it basically was. I would have prefered to wait until sunset for better lighting, but the park closes at 5pm.

 

I didn't bring my GD filters with me, but with the whitish sky I don't think they could have done much.

I like 'em both! For those who are bothered with the sky; and I'm not; what about a crop down into the tops of the tree line? I like this landscape a lot, Teru; it presents almost abstractly. Good eye to see this one! By the way, you have some gorgeous images in your collection; well done! Cheers! Chris
