 Since I had to work with a VERY limited amount of space on an area that you're not allowed to enter I decided to go for a quick 3 shot HDR Panorama. I wanted to do a landscape orientation shot, but there was a flag pole just right, centimeters out of the frame. It was quite a distraction, which made the landscape orientation shot impossible.
It was a shame, but I think I still managed to get away with a great image.
It took me a while to find the right composition, and after a while of not finding anything, I decided to walk climb a low fence to get to the area where I was, and that was a great idea.
The dyke was the pathway to the windmill.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Lovely sky - first thing I noticed about this image. It's so refreshing to find it looking so natural, I'm not a fan of the overcooked skies that seem so prevalent on DPC.

I think the main reason this didn't score so well was due to the lack of very obvious pathway. In this sort of challenge, to score well, the challenge topic has to be very "in your face", subtle doesn't tend to work around here.

The light is lovely, but unfortunately the windmill is missing the detail.

Overall, it's a solid image, just not really meeting the topic in the strictest sense.

I guess sometimes the path taken is up to the individual.
