The really handsome (if a bit blurry) model is myself. Was out on a photohunt for birds (gr.N. divers, Harlequin ducks, and more) when this suddenly occured to me.
Not the best execution, but I had a lot of fun.
crop, hue/sat, levels and a bit too much USM

I think you did a wonderful job creating a vast expanse with your composition. The road leads you into the shot very nicely and the closeness/familiarity of the model/phone/car are all something that is easy for people to identify with. The road really draws your eye to the sky and landscape - and the sky is fantastic!
The car & model seem to be a bit grainy and dark (which I think detracts a bit from the overall image), but you did a great job creating a "real" feeling/scenario. I think you could increase the lighting for the entire shot a hair or two - to bring out more detail in the foreground and midground. Perhaps reducing the backlighting a touch and adjusting the contrast? This would reduce some of the glare on the car door while increasing some of the detail on the car itself.
Just my 2 cents, but I thought this image was great in the challenge - I know it scored high marks with me. Again, I just have to say that the sky is a masterpiece... Nice work!
I like it, but I dont like it. I wish you were in the car on the phone instead of outside the car.....Also, where is the right/left option in the picture?
