This is the road over Cumbres Pass in Colorado on the way to Chama, New Mexico. The sun was just setting and I got some nice reflection on the road. The other reflection to the left side are the tracks of the Cumbres-Toltec Narrow Gauge Railway which runs between Antonito, CO and Chama, NM. We drove up to Chama that evening to eat out and I got lots of nice road pictures, liked this one the best.
I had another entry for Beatles - it was for Nowhere Man but I kind of like this Road one better. It was a hard choice though. Here it is: Editing: Crop, select sky - invert selection; exposure adjustment on ground; adjustment layer for levels on ground; invert selection again, adjustment layer for levels on sky; clone out small post along side of road, healing brush on reflection on left side of road near the top, noise removal, reselect lower part of picture-do a very slight amount of diffuse glow filter, resize, smart sharpen, spot heal on a couple of white specks on the grass near the front of the picture, save for web.

This is the first of this title I've seen. Wonder how many more? You did a wonderful capture of light on the road. Having the roadsides silhouetted really brings out the perspective of the road.
