Ok. So I was wrong on the shutter speed... I did like the shot!
Glad you liked it, and thank you for taking the time to comment! Getting feedback from people seriously interested in photography is one of the best things about DPC.
Great attention to position / composition at the time of the shot. Were you riding as a passenger in a moving car? I'm guessing so, from the slight motion blur. Really like this. I grew up ski racing and it is a window into what you see going down a course.
Thanks! Actually was standing by the roadside. It was a bit hazy and I zoomed the telephoto to compress the curves in the road. This also magnified the haze and I think added the overall softness of the image. I liked the effect, so I thought it might be worth entering.

Lovely leading line and I really like the dawn/dusk lighting. I like that it has a soft focus effect which compliments the lighting however, there does appear to be a lot of camera shake due to being handheld at slower shutter speed. Just as a reminder to myself because I fall prey to this all the time, the best ratio of shutter speed to focal length for handholding is 1/zoom length. Therefore at 50mm the shutter should be no less than 1/50. And as a recommendation handholding any less than 1/50 - 1/60 is probably going to cause slight camera shake. A tripod could have helped here.
