Love the sky and composition! Also some strong colors (good).
Did you add the vignetting or is it a lens thing? It keeps the eye in the frame so it isn't a bad thing.

Great photo! Reminds me of West River, SD. I like how the clouds just jump out of the sky. You must have been standing in a drive way or gravel road - the patch of gravel on the right is just a tiny bit distracting. I didn't notice it right away though.

God I love these kinds of shots. They evoke that freedom of "let's get the heck outta here" and I love it. The colors are superb. Blues and yellows are such wonderful contrasts and you managed to get them both and a wonderfully composed photo as well.

Great photo and the perspective is terrific. The sky is stunning though the stark transition from light into dark is skewed by the dodging around the clouds. It gives the appearance that the clouds are illuminating the sky in the background. You might tone down the dodging around the middle clouds to reduce this effect. Other than that.....wow!

I like the richness of the colors - the sky is gorgeous! Seems a little tilted (or maybe it's my eyes:). I would like to see it at a slightly different angle to avoid the concrete on the lower right. Looking at it, that might not be possible to do and still keep the curve of the road though.

It feels like the open road. Very nice shot. Your sky looks amazing. Polarizer? Other filter?

I like this one...sky is great. I would love to take a ride on this road. The only thing I find wrong is IMO the green of the trees is too dark. The mountains are a underexposed also. Probably would have benefitted from a grad nd filter on the sky.
