eyes on the road

Perhaps a bit plain but that is it's quiet (ie not high scoring) appeal, add Mark pointed out.

Wonderful view with a great sky. As someone in the threat mentioned, maybe a slightly more dynamic comp/crop? And the land is a bit dark but that works if you bring out the road a bit more. Try that with the shot in mono and see how it looks.

I gave you a 7 on this. I really like it. The only thing I can see is maybe the land should be a little brighter.

Color is lacking! Looks like a heck of a sunset/rise but the colors aren't there? I wonder what the original image looked like before editing. I wonder if you could have done a gradient style of edit to pop the colors of the sky more. I think that if there were more dramatic oranges and reds then this would have done a whole lot better. Oh, and I know some people don't bother with this but the rule of thirds is nonexistent in this shot. But rule of thirds is just personal preference for me.

For the sake of trying to find something wrong with this for critique purposes... I just don't think that it is quite sharp enough on the eyes. For portraits, it's all about how sharp you can get the eyes without overdoing in post process. The background is blown out nicely but I just don't think that the viewers eyes went to anything in specific. That specific needed to be the eyes and it's just not there for me.

With the tones being in my opinion pretty conservative in saturation, I still really love this. The scope of it all. There are so many things to look at and they all work so well together. One of my faves.
