Taken at Bridal Veil Falls, there is a neat walk that goes along the edge of a cliff (don't worry its fenced!) and you have a fantastic view of the Columbia River/Gorge area including I-84. I enjoy watching the traffic go by from up there and this image both when I took it and after I was scanning my shots just reminded me of those addresses they give for Jane/John Doe on application examples because of how generic it was. I can imagine this scene playing out anywhere and I think it shows how commonplace both cars and automobile traffic has become as well as how it sprawls through our natural areas. Not sure if everyone will glean that from the image or not but that's okay.

I like how it is framed with the trees on either side. The B&W really works well with this shot. I see a few spots that, I think, should be cloned out. But with basic editing, I understand you can't. Mainly the car half hidden behind the trees. Just my 2 cents worth.
Good tones, the shadows are severly clipped, but I suspect this was done intentionally. Great perspective and strong composition/subject matter. I give it a 10.
