So many patterns going on here and wondering what lies over the hill. Rural life about to meet city life or you can take the turn to the left and avoid the city. Choices and patterns working together (I am getting way too philosophical here, lol).

I always love shadows

Comment by herfotoman:
The trees and clouds do form a sort of busy background for the painted lines on the road. Those lines took my attention away from the shadows, the shadows just made them more interesting, giving them a 3-d feel.

Lovely pastoral scene, quietly normal. I'm waiting for something to jump out from the side when I least expect it....

Comment by Paul:
I think trees and crunchy foliage are tricky to shoot and present - too much contrast and the complexity of form is lost, too little and the subtleties are there but inadequately captured in the dynamic ranges of most images. My personal issues with photographing trees mean that I'm not as receptive to this image as others may be.

Comment by ubique:
Not my personal cup of tea perhaps, but I refer only to the gently bucolic subject matter. The photography however is excellent, with far better handling of a challenging tonal range than I can ever manage. Thank you.

Comment by Lydia:
Great contrast... but the loss of detail in the whites will make this not score very high, I fear.

I love the composition.

Comment by smardaz:
there are many things that hurt this shot, the flat lighting, the wrinkled paper and the uninteresting composition

Damn.......this would be lovely with natural light. Flash (?) really messed it up.
