Hi macstrat:
Great photo. Colors are great and compositions as well. Has some dramatic touch that I like a lot. I know this is a critique section but in my opinion your photo has not much else to improve.
Thanks for sharing it!

I love the colors...and the misty feel.
I think removing the bus in the background would help keep focus on the road...
maybe even the car but i think one car might help the photo and is not that distracting.
A great inspiring shot in a less than inspiring place. Living in Ohio I see the same things
and know its hard to find great unique shots like this....Good work!

What about those branches in the top left? They help frame the image and it might feel too open without them. However, they could also be seen as distracting. If you want to post process the shot, it would be relatively simple to clone them out and then replace the vignette effect to see how it alters the feel of the shot.

Wow Wulf I never even saw the ones up at the top. my eyes stayed in the background. Maybe a good argument for cloning the bus out.....you are talking about the very top branches right...not the couple popping out mid horizon?

Yes - just the top left corner and not clearly connected to the ones further down the left hand side.
