Hi Noel. This is a nice pleasant scene. I prefer the colour version, but still like the B&W. It is nicely composed and I like the soft lighting. I like the girl walking away, but would prefer if she was a bit closer. The girl on the left I find distracting and I would prefer if the bin wasn’t present. I find the people on the right distracting more so in the colour version too. I would love to see this taken in early morning / evening light with autumn colours on the trees as well as the ground. overall a very nice shot.
I prefer the B&W I think. The lady on the left is less noticeable in this version. It seems lopsided as well but this is probably due to the slope on the path rather than anything else. If you could straighten up the girl about a degree or two anti clockwise. Nice shot though.
