 I wish I could have better shown how steep of a drop-off it is...beyond those two far curves it is 800 feet down to the valley floor below.

Really nice capture and composition. Looks like a burn area of California.

IMO I think this shot would have been better without the car. I find it a bit distracting.

I really like this being a Sports Car Hillclimber at heart and the Motorcyclist in me is also twitching to find this piece of road... Looks a bit like one that a friend sent me while touring in Europe... What really makes the picture happen for me is the inclusion of the car with the motion blur! Great photography and the great subject matter made this my favorite!

very well composed. The car distracts me a little. A 9 nonetheless.

Well thought out concept. I would've rather seen all the road leading up to the car though. This way it looks like the car is just a passing car and not the car that drove exhilaratingly across that stretch of road.

An excellent interpretation of the challenge. While the color works well, I can't help but think this might be cool in B&W, too.
