wow! i am really thrilled with all the comments. i posted this picture on the site and them my e-mail changed unexpectedly the next week, so i never got to see any of the comments until just now when i realized i hadn't heard from the site in a while.
the dust spots were killing me, but the challenge said specifically no spot editing, so i left them in. centering in the road was a problem because there was a crest of a hill just behind me and people whizzing by in the right-hand lane that wouldn't see me until it was too late. i suppose i could have went to the top of the hill, but i think there were obstructions in the way - guard rails or something, i don't recall.
The lines of the road, the strata, and the colourede soils intersecting make a wonderful image.There are even a few uprights on the roadside to counterpoint it all. Very good indeed.
great vision of parallels going vertically (road) and horizontally (the lovely landscape). great realization of the challenge and excellent photography. (i know it's picayune but i am a teeny bit distracted by the car (?) in the distance...once i noticed it, it became a thorn in your lovely image.)
Makes me homesick. Great use of lines. I would have liked a little more of the mesas, and the highway a little to the left or right, but I still gave it a 9.
nice scene. the composition would be even stronger if the road was lined up with both white lines going into the corners with the yellow center line dead center.
great photo, I think a tighter crop to emphasise the vertical road would have worked better. Also its unfortunate that the vehicle in the centre has been caught as this is distracting to me
I've submitted a couple images of MV for DPC, most recent in the Silence challenge, but I have never taken this shot. I gotta do that sometime. Nice perspective. It gives that feeling of wide open spaces. Decent landscape. You have the lines of the highway and the lines of the red rocks.
Beautiful colors! The road seems a bit shifted to the right at the bottom of the picture, and the the grey shoulder on the left accentuates this (as opposed to the grass on the right). I like the car in the distance, down the road; it adds some motion to what would otherwise be an overwhelmingly static frame.
