Pretty much what the title says - a dirt road in a vineyard. I wanted to tonemap this but can't get the key to Photomatix in time for the challenge, so this is done with lotsa layers, lotsa burning and dodging, and far more editing than I'd normally do to a picture.

I'm surprised I didn't leave a comment when I voted, because I gave this a 10. I love everything about it -- especially the feeling I get of wanting to walk down this road and explore the countryside and distant farm.

Give up my seat at Team Suck?? Never!! You won't find a better bunch of folks to hang out with. The occasional good score is tolerated.

Nice shot. I think what I like best is the way the lines suck you right in (Sorry if I used too much technical jargon there). Very nice job on the post processing.

Well, I'd say you did a great job of processing! Heck, I might've looked at that original and said "ah, never mind."
