Woah, what a vista! I really like your composition and tonal control, but on the uncalibrated laptop I am viewing on, the image looks rather flat and lacking in depth and contrast - I won't vote now, but will re-evaluate when I get the chance to look on my calibrated monitor.

Edit: Much more depth and contrast on the calibrated monitor :) 8.

Looking at this again, I am struck by the fact that the road looks like a tree trunk and the forest the trees leaves.

That is quite a spectacular road! I wonder where it is. I bet driving thru the wooded part of that road is beyond amazing! And what an amazing job photographing it!

the road gives this image a feeling of an optical illusion .

the road is actually going up .. into that amazing scene .. rather than in front .

Interesting play of the manmade and the natural. Foe me, the road is a little too prominent - I feel a tighter crop from the bottom would still keep that contrast, but would remove some of the tension - but then, that tension might be what you were aiming for. 7
