 Taken on a cloudy day in Hampstead Heath, North London.

Originally I planned to have just the trees in the picture, but I guess the couple gives the picture some focus.

"Strolling in the park" is a very nice addition into the Duotones challenge. Interesting choice to go with the gray scale, I would be curious to see it in sepia it give is a warmer feel.

The overall image is nice. The subject itself is different from the run of the mill park. With the curving path and the two people showing how massive the trees and the world around us is, gives a wonderful subject. I wish the contrast had been turned up so there was more definition between the trees, the leaves and the path. I love the overall image. I personally would have gone with a black border because the gray almost brings out the flatness from lack of contrast or try it without a border at all. Looking at your profile, I really wonder if you wanted the image to be soft like it is. But of course photography is a form of art which in the end is seen different by the artists and the audience. I really love the heath, keep up the good work.

A wider angle would be greater, I still gave you an 8 though.

The image could use some contrast to bring out more details in the leaves. As is, the image just looks a little too flat with nothing for the eye to really grab on to. I do like the curve of the trail with the couple off in the distance.

Kind of flat. I'd like to see a little more contrast.
