Nice composition, I like the darkness of this, feels very pensive.

I like the shadows on the road, good leading lines.

Nice dark brooding sky... the road does seem to lighten up... but then descends into darkness at the end. Nice shot.

Enlightenment is contained in a thundercloud?

Great composition and play of light. Has an almost painting like look. Love those dark pregnant clouds. 7

cool shadows falling on the road before it brightens up

not so interesting - need some hours of PP work
 03/15/2009 09:15:32 AM
Nice, but in my opinion it has too much noise ...

Interesting lighting.

Nice country highway scene. I think this would really benefit from some HDR processing (Lucis Arts or Topaz Adjust).

Hey you! A long way to go.

Beautiful job with the composition. The clouds have a nice ominous look.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 04:59:54 PM
The graininess in the clouds catches my eye first. Would liked to have seen all the road in sunshine for a bit more impact. Nice take all the same.

Neat point of view. I think I'd have cropped just a little bit of the darkness from that right side and bottom corner.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:47:10 PM
Beautiful. Looks like an old master's painting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:23:52 PM
A good capture. The elements in this image are very foreboding.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:21:15 PM
That's quite a storm. I just love how the sun is shining on the other side of the road.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:37:32 AM
wonderful light, and i like the tree shadows on the road
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:57:25 AM
nice mix of colors

nice dramatic lighting, did well to capture and process this , 6

So *that's* what enlightenment looks like! I see it up in the clouds! Extra points for me?

Not likely. But I'll toss an extra one at you for your Hidden Gem.

I like the light at the end of the road, nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:19:57 PM
ominous shadows and the light is in all the right places - excellent!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:22:51 PM
The wonderful light really makes this photo! It's almost a painting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:00:13 PM
I love the way the sun shines in different spots on this. The sky is really awesome!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:40:08 PM
nice, the shadow on the road is a shame as it spoils the line the road makes through the shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:11:47 PM
Good shot. A bit lighter may have scored better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:46:11 PM
A bit grainy.... but I love the tangle of shadows just over the road. Nice capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:33:20 AM
A little noisy for me but a nice subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:58:09 PM
Looks like the road to trouble with all those storm clouds.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:44:18 PM
Very interesting clouds, and I really like the shadows across the road.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:38:31 PM
For the title, it doesn't work for me.....more like the road to perdition.
For enlightenment, a sunrise or sunset would have worked better than the storm.
On the other hand i like the vanishing point and the subdued colors.

 03/11/2009 05:50:19 PM
Nice shot, great title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:41:56 PM
Nicely timed capture of this interesting lighting. I like how the end of the road becomes the focal point simply because of the light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:02:32 PM
good title
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:12:45 PM
Nice shot, looks like England to me

nice shot

I like the leading line from the road and the shadows the trees cast gives a kinda spooky feel
