The sharpness and contrast of the white lines on the pavement going into and parallel to the soft foggy back ground makes for a strong image for me. Very good.
Very bold tonal differences between the striping and pavement, a very strong attention grabber. The trees in the mist compliment wonderfully. Definitely one of the most pulling leading lines of the batch. Hopefully this is not being hammered by those that think there has to be a subject at the other end of a leading line. Beautiful!
