Some may feel that this isn't very 'NG'. I love it and it would make a nice little feature shot in the magazine. If anything though it perhaps lacks that key feature of interest that one normally finds in NG shots.
Beautiful contrast really makes this shot very interesing. The road helps lead your eyes through the trees. I think a tiny bit of cropping of the sky would give this even more impact.
What a lovely black and white. I love the imbalance in the composition - the curve in the road and the trees fill the bottom with interest, contrast, detail. The airy sky floats above taking up most of the picture. Perhaps the diversion isn't the turn in the road, but into another dimension: up! Has the feeling of a 17th cent Dutch landscape painting. I'm not sure I'v ever seen anything like this in NG, but I'd like to see it on my wall.
Makes me want to take a ride to see what's around the bend. I might have cropped it a little different, to remove some of the sky; I find that a bit distracting.
Very artistic shot, good position of road/trees, nice use of B&W. What would really add here is a tighter connection to the theme, perhaps info on where you are, or why I'm taking the diversion would help
