Man, lots of fantastic photos in this challenge. Seems like a lot of focus on interesting light.
This is a nice take on the usual "photo of a road" picture and on the usual "beautiful sunset" picture.
The sky is particularily interesting to me as it almost gives a visual of "good and evil" with the left and right sides. The left is brighter pastels, almost whimsical, while the right is darker, richer, almost forboding. This is further accentuated by the fields on each side. On the left appears to be a meadow, open and friendly, while the right appears to be some kind of crop, tightly planted, thick, and tall. The texture in the clouds is quite fantastic as well, right in the middle at the top, very chaotic but beautiful, as though each side is fighting for control.
The only improvement for me would be focus. The horizon is nice and dark, but I wish it were a little sharper. That might be nitpicking, though. I also might have liked the field to the left to be a little sharper, but I am guessing the wind was blowing, you could have been using a low ISO, slow(ish) shutterspeed and possible a high aperture.
Looks like some noise along the horizon as well but it's hard to notice and might just be my eyes playing tricks on me.
