Hi Peter,
Thanks for taking the time to CC, it is much appreciated. I find it interesting to hear what others get (or don't get ) from a particular photo and you have given me another perspective and I appreciate it.
I was also on the same wavelength as you re just one person on the path and did manage it (only because the weather kept everyone under shelter).
So here is a mono version of the original one and a mono shot of what you were referring to re single person on path.
As I usually have two very young & boisterous boys in tow I generally rely on luck as I don't have the time to set up the perfect composition.
Once again thanks for the CC.
