    Yeti, that one is spectacular. Well done. Great b&w, rshnaible.

    And thanks to all who liked my last portrait. :]

    A typical morning scene at a fish market in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. I was hesitant at first at doing 'street photography' and taking photographs of the local folks due to their very restrictive culture especially about 'no photography' involving women.

    The Path

    Maybe you'll can help me with this one. I like how the path winds through the section of trees here but the picture seems kind of dull. I am not sure what it is missing to make it pop more. It is the lighting? composition? or something else?

    Thanks

    Hi David, welcome to NR.

    Looks a little washed-out (add contrast/clarity) and could do with a subject really as - you are right - it looks a little dull.

    HTH.

    Hi David
    The path works well to lead the eye. I agree with spraynpray but would add that maybe the path being concrete is not very interesting in itself and need a point of interest. Once your eye reaches the end of the path there is nothing to hold the attention or make you want to go round again.

    With all the great photos here I am going to add a simple shot of the North Carolina Forest Service helicopter used in fighting a fire on Pilot mountain, North Carolina.

    Trails, roads and s-curves. Neat. Rschnaible, you have presented a sense of isolation. Donald Jose, the fence along the road enhances a sense of adventure.
    David, the trees present a feeling of mystery, but perhaps it is the long straight section of the trail in the immediate foreground and the lack of a distinct focal point that concerns you.
    Kanuck, you have a nice s-curve in the stream.
    Bland, please continue to contribute photos, even if they are not from concerts.
    cp, interesting processing.
    Squamish, neat portrait.
    msmoto, you are out and about as usual.

    And thanks to all for the comments on the Indian Ocean image I posted.

    I took this at a small Zulu school in South Africa while volunteering on an inventory of animals in the Hluhuwe-imfolozi game reserve. Most of the kids are HIV orphans. We visited the school and the kids loved us, as we them.

    Hawk,
    Nice image. I have been to this area, and know there is incredible poverty there. Great depiction.

    It's been a bit since I posted but I have probably 1500 pictures from the last 3 weeks that I should start sharing... so get ready to be tired of me.

    Also, I hope you enjoy cosplay portraits :)

    @ rensuchan...excellent use of texture, lighting and subject going to the edges...or as one might say "coloring outside the lines". This contrast with the severity of the concrete and the delicacy of the female and flute... great!

    And, a bit of an interesting note.....

    Just for curiosity's sake, here are some interesting facts. In October of 2012 we had 823 posts on Photo-A-Day by 72 members. This is compared to October 2011 when we had 205 posts by only 40 members. A growth increase by photos of over 300% and an 80% increase of participating members.

    Thanks to all for the excellent work... Not only has the number of posts increased, but IMO the quality of the photos is better.

    @David, from my perspective in order to accentuate the path, the shot needs to be taken from a higher point-of-view threw the forest. However, I'm not sure if this can happen given the density and hight of the trees from your position. Keep in mind if you cannot get high, then go low and horizontal. Use your widest lens...10, 12, 14mm...a fish-eye may also add a very unique perspective.
