Hello from the Critique Club!
The composition/perspective of this image is very nice. The single light offset is a nice technique you accomplished very nicely. I agree with you about the walkway. It does serve as a nice leading line and I really like the fact that at no point does it dominate the photo. The curve was the perfect location for this shot as well. It adds an element of geometry that really sweeps you through. It helps that near the light it is covered with leaves as well. The perspective of the shot makes you feel almost as though you - the viewer - is on the path approaching this very lamp.
Lighting - obviously the source is the street lamp. But your control of flare and washout was done very well. The effect it has on the trees really helps set the mood for the shot. It also lets just enough color show that it appears as though the leaves are actually absorbing the light in protest.
The limited color in the image works very nicely with the light. They complement each other quite well. I think if you had gone to true black and white the shot would lose the nice feel and mood you have captured. Nothing stands out as a distraction to me.
Challenge requirements - the challenge was to have image grain as an integral part of your photo. Although I can see some grain/noise in the photo, in my opinion there could be a lot more and still not hurt the image at all. Again it is a strong composition and culd very easily have taken on the challenge with a lot more grain.
Overall I think you have a nice photo here with a strong emotive force. well done!

| Liked the mood created by the single light on the background trees. Seemed a little too broken up, though. If you did not use a tripod, it would have made the image somewhat clearer. It may have been oversharpened to create grain. |
