 A stressful day. I went out to shoot and found this wonderful road. It was very relaxing to be there.

ND Gradient Filter, circular polarizer, flash, image had all the depth that it has now before PP, PP included blending mode on sky, burn the road and grass, dodge the grass. USM, save for web.

Thanks for the votes everyone!

Wonderful composition, love the colors. One of a handful of images that tells the story just fine without the title!

This deserves a ribbon! It's my favorite of the challenge so far and one of the few I've seen that really makes me want to know the story behind it. I gave it a 10!
