An evening stroll along the Leeds-Liverpool canal in the industrial North West of England.

I'm not really sure if this is 'low contrast' or not - despite doing some reading around. No doubt I'll get some idea how close I am when the votes come in! Comments, particularly on contrast, most welcome.

Have just noticed aperture - hadn't picked that up even when processing. Maybe I need new glasses!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Very nice setting, great time of day to shoot, and as noted, very dfreamy. Problem is, there is nothing happening. There is no true focal point. I looked everywhere for that one thing to rivet my attention and didn't find it. Pathway, river, trees, setting sun...that's it. It's like looking at a set before the extras and talent are called on. Even just a pedestrian or dogwalker on the path would have broken the vista and given us something to look at. If you had a tripod with you, you could set it up, put on the timer and use yourself as a model.

Otherwise, I see it's a kit lens that caught this image. I think you could have slowed the shutter speed down quite a lot (leaning against a tree to stabilize yourself, you should be able to get a fairly sharp image at 1/40) and thus bought yourself some more dof.

Hope this has been of help, feel free to PM me with any questions.

Susan
