Nice, I would crop a little off the right so the tree isn't quite so centered.

The flash is leaving some very hard shadows, would have been so much better with natural light and a tripod.

The man and his dog fit so perfectly in the alleyway. If the two of them were shop separately or the alleyway on its own, I don't think the image would have this impact.

A great photo no doubt. But the emphasis appears to be on the man and his dog, and the thematic "alley" is all but forgotten.

Beautiful photograph, but could you please assure us that it is an alleyway between houses and not a path between properties.

The woman shows strong color banding on her face, which is distracting, along with the too-bright colors, but the concept and positioning of the elements in this image is great.

Penrose Estate
avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

I had to look this up, since Penrose is an important name in the Colorado Springs Region, and I wondered if it was the same or related...Found out that Loe pool, once part of the Penrose estate, is the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall...Interesting trivia for the day...

Nice composition, with the shadow echos of the fence by the path leading the eye into the picture, and the trees then bringing the eye back down. A bit too centered, though - the path and the horizon are both "target centered," rather than slightly offset. This would be stronger if you crop off some of the left side and the top to bring the horizon up a bit and move the curve of the path a bit more to the left.
