 After finding a nice S curve in the road, I set up my tripod and waited. It was a beautiful day for Dec. 5th, so I was hoping a motorcycle would come by (hopefully not followed by a tractor trailer) and patience paid off.

Good use of an s-curve, but not a single thing seems to be sharp. Looks a bit dark also.

an image like this should "pop".. the yellow and white stripes should provide a large contrast between the black asphalt. In this photo everything seems very subdued. Also, I think the image would be better conveyed if the curves weren't cropped out of the road.. More detail in the rider would also help.

Awww the open road, cannot get more freedom than that, especially with an awesome bike under you. Great capture.

I like the idea, and the curves of this road are interesting, but the lighting is extremely flat and dull.
