Congrats mate. What i cant beleive is that people had scored this photo
at 4 and less? What do you have to do to keep everyone happy and their votes 5?
WTG Wave! You finally got your breakthrough! I was wondering when that would happen. And not only that, you did it by breaking the "rules" wit6h a nearly-symmetrical picture :-) A landscapist after my own heart!
Well you are definately one that can make centered composition work, works nicely here and this is a pretty cool photo. Maybe I am just too people oriented but I feel that there is something missing, like a person walking down that road or something like that. Also, a bit too dramatic and dark for my taste but nothing that is really hurting the shot, I am just in too much of a summer mood for this right now as it reminds me of autumn storms. Anyway, a nice shot, I gave it a 7.
Man, lots of fantastic photos in this challenge. Seems like a lot of focus on interesting light.
This is a nice take on the usual "photo of a road" picture and on the usual "beautiful sunset" picture.
The sky is particularily interesting to me as it almost gives a visual of "good and evil" with the left and right sides. The left is brighter pastels, almost whimsical, while the right is darker, richer, almost forboding. This is further accentuated by the fields on each side. On the left appears to be a meadow, open and friendly, while the right appears to be some kind of crop, tightly planted, thick, and tall. The texture in the clouds is quite fantastic as well, right in the middle at the top, very chaotic but beautiful, as though each side is fighting for control.
The only improvement for me would be focus. The horizon is nice and dark, but I wish it were a little sharper. That might be nitpicking, though. I also might have liked the field to the left to be a little sharper, but I am guessing the wind was blowing, you could have been using a low ISO, slow(ish) shutterspeed and possible a high aperture.
Looks like some noise along the horizon as well but it's hard to notice and might just be my eyes playing tricks on me.
wonderful image...I like how it seems as though the clouds are moving towards the viewer, yet the road brings about a sense of movement forward...it's a very interesting optical effect...I'm not totally crazy about the tones, though...there's a bit too many colors battling for attention, at least to my eye...hmm, nicely done! :)
