I won't say anything about the tilted horizon. ;-) It is a beautiful image.

This is an excellent shot! Great detail and DoF. I did not realize Ewoks actually exist. ;-)

Washboard Road

Hi! This has the potential to be a really interesting shot with the right pp in it. You have a good start, basic composition with your road leading you in and around the shot but then it ends. It doesn't take me the rest of way through and that's not always a bad thing if you have something for me to look at when I get to that point. But in this shot there is not much there for me to see.

A couple of ways you could have made it this more interesting was to adjust you different colors in Hue/Saturation with Layers. Adding a layer to adjust the blues, one for the greens, etc. Do this and you can see the picture really start to come to life with color alone. Right now it's just there, nothing to really grab my attention and make me want to stay around.

Another is cropping, I would bring it in just a bit more on the left so the side of the road is on the left boarder so the whole road is what is bringing me in. Then taking me through the picture.

Now you called this washboard road, and having grown up in Montana I know washboard roads and this could be one but not a very defined one. I can see a few bumps but not very many. Maybe if you tried a different angle to really bring out the bumps in the road, giving them more detail, which can also be accomplished with level and curve adjustments. Either that or just change the title so I'm not looking for the bumps.

It's not a bad shot overall and has the potential to be a much better shot with some work. Don't give up, looking at your portfolio you have an eye for this. :)

Hope my comments help.

Love the golden sunset, but wish this were sharper. I'm not sure what exposure settings you used as they are not listed, but I am finding out myself that is you stay between f8-f13 you get better sharpness throughout

I wish the focus were more on the petals than on the leaves, but it's still a great shot.

I'ma actually surprised this didn't score above a 5 at least lol. I mean I realize the horizon is tilted, but the colors, and the photo itself are very good. I rather like it myself!

I've had a few tilted horizons myself, and no I wasn't drunk when taking the picture! Someone pointed out the straightening tool on psp and that fixed that little glitch. I think this would be very nice in b&w also.
