Great lighting technique, I do find the horizontal (presumably fallen tree?) line a bit distracting.

That is something to sit and stare in awe at, though maybe not in the middle of the road or some large truck might just come thundering up and flatten you! Of course with you lot driving on the wrong side of the road I suppose in that lane you would see it coming :)

As for the shot, I really like it. I love the way the road runs off into the distance until it's almost just a line, yet you can tell it's still nowhere near reaching the horizon. The person on the foreground breaks up the bleakness of the road very well and I think is a very nice inclusion.

Originally posted by bvy: Excellent street portrait. Curious if this was posed or candid.

no, it's not posed. I just waited until he looked at me. I like doing that lately instead of "pure candids" to establish a certain momentary connection with the subject. The reactions can be so different! I think you can learn a lot about a person from this first reaction.

Like this photo, especially the contrast. Too bad the foreground wasn't darker so that the attention would be solely on the whiter tree against the darker background.

Usually I don't give bluebirds when people are in the top ten, but I think this is a truly spectacular shot -- it simply has to have a bluebird award!
