i really like the feel of this image ... the cloud/fog capture ads a nice touch to the highway - certainly reminds me of a dream or fantasy - 7

Draws you in, makes me want to follow the road wondering what is down there. Too bad about the road markers but good job otherwise

You should have saved this for the leadings lines challenge ;)

I like this shot, the road makes it less fantasy-ish to me, though. The poles are also quite distracting, but I think you've capture something quite beautiful here.

A 7 from me

I looks remote and fog/mist is always nicely mysterious, but other than that it is just a road in our world, with a centered composition. Nothing amazing about it, sorry.

Ok, I tried to imagine it been a "world of fantasy" but I think it's lacking a key element to it! The background does look a bit surreal, but then you need something else for it to be FANTASY.

I like to overcast weather but perhaps the image is too dark? because of the wide variety of monitor calibrations amoung voter, darker images often score lower than they deserve.. I love your composition - feels like everything is being sucked towards the center.

Beautiful photo, unfortunately it does not seem as 'fantasy' world as I would expect. But still a great capture. 6
