Post challenge: Wow, thanks everyone for the great comments during and after the challenge! I came home tonight to find out about the events concerning this challenge and feel sorry for alithenake, Larus and yakatme: you all were amongst my favourite photos of this challenge...
Photographic details: As Azrifel guessed, this was shot in an area north of Amsterdam called The Beemster. Me and my girlfriend were visiting a friend of hers and I knew about this road, so when returning in the afternoon, we stopped to snap some pictures. There was a nice blue sky which I couldn't really maintain in post editing, I would have liked to have more gradient or maybe some clouds. But hey, wow, a red...
Post processing: lots of colour adjustments (see above), no USM, no NI ;-)
Thanks all for taking the time to vote and comment!

I'm glad to see this ribbon. It's exceptionally well done. Strong composition with leading lines that play well with each other. I am very pleased to see such photos now ribbon. Congratulations!
This is just such a striking photo! I can really see this matted and framed in a simple frame. . .and selling for BIG BUCKS!! Congratulations! This photo just grabs me!
I didn't get a chance to vote on this one but did look at the thumbnails and this one caught my attention. I love the colors and the perpective is great. Congratulations on your first ribbon.
8-really like this shot; my favorite so far in this challenge. Might I suggest a crop on the left and right to just outside the trunks of the first trees?
The avenue of decidious trees really impact this monotone image. I also love the perspective lines which draws one eyes right to the centre of the horizon.....This is brillant.....
Almost like a mirror, good find. I like the b&w presentation. I know it is toned, but I still call that b&w.
Moet bijna Nederlands zijn, zo'n kaarsrechte weg in een polderlandschap met van die netjes geplantte bomen. Maar de schuur is de doorslaggevende factor. Geen idee waar het is, ik heb dit soort wegen gezien in de Wieringermeer, de Beemster en in de buurt van Mijdrecht.
Na het beoordelen van een stuk of 80 entries tot nog toe, één van de betere inzendingen.
Would have been really good if you'd cropped the edges, both sides of the road are distracting, otherwise great shot, the channelling of the trees is very effecive. 7
Wow. This photo is tremendous. The impact from first view packs a whallop.
Excellent tones and composition. The vanishing point draws you right into it. A definite 10!
