I have no idea. In my opinion it is very similar to my faceless entry. It is just that road instead of my bathroom and that road sign instead of myself. So I would say around 5.

One stupid guy said this one could win but I think that's nonsense but his comment is perhaps the reason it is here after all. Perhaps I'll finally get the brown? No I don't think so either.

Thanks all.
It is my second highest voting and my highest percentage so far.
This photo is one of the few I have submitted that went higher than I expected. But that's nice with this one since I like it a lot now.

The only bad thing is that it was above my "3" challenge entry which I think is much better. And I still dont't understand the low score for my faceless entry.

About comments then I don't understand what ergates means by saying "it would have been better with a more careful composition" since it is the composition what I like in the photo. That's the reason his/her comment wasn't considered helpful.

And about that traffic sing. It is actually there and at the vanishing point on the left side of the road you can see a farm and there is another one on the right side and children can be on the road while playing or visiting each other.

And it is not completely somewhere in the middle of nowhere since it is almost inside Reykjavik if it isn't inside the boundaries of the capital.

Nice idea, maybe you could have done more out of it with a more careful composition?

Strange sign for this place. Did you place it there os is it always on that road?
I like the tilted horizon and the vanishing point 8even though it's not perfect). The colours are okay, but not that apppealing. Better than b&w nonetheless.

nice colors and atmosphere. the slanted framing is very dynamic, but it might have been better framed as an utterly still scene, horizontally. nevertheless better than the lot

Interesting angle. It draws the eye away to the horizon.

Normally, I don't like photos with skewed horizons, but this one works well!

Beautifully photographed. I do wonder if the slanted perspective of the image works for this Challenge. But it does tell a good story.
