    Converted to B&W using Silver Efex. Areas burned where necessary.
    It was great walking around these small villages early in the morning. You would never know what you would see around the next bend.

    I agree, it's beautiful! Has a real old time feel. Like how the leaves and arch frame the path. Good job!

    Two very small suggestions for you, Dave. First, I'd take a touch off the right side...see where there is something right on the edge of the frame that feels like it's half in/half out. I'd take it out and let the plant on the right side of the frame have it all. I'd also consider either cropping from the bottom or darkening/burning the lighter foliage at the front bottom edge of the frame. I think darkening it all down there would make a great balance to the top left corner that is the lightest area in your frame. Light left upper corner/dark bottom right corner...make sense?

    Yup! Do you also like this version better? I really think it improves on the original composition. Your eye really anchors on the flowers at the bottom and then the walls pull your eye straight up to the clouds!
