Wonderful idea to try a new perspective by getting down on the highway! It makes the view more unusual. There is a part of me that wants a bit more ground anchoring it, or a little less sky. My eye is drawn to the bottom of the shot and seems to stay there because the top third is less interesting.

Exact same thing happend to me.. Maybe making it a square crop would help?
I like the Idea of laying down on the Highway though, I also try to get a new perspective of things as often as possible

pinkrose, Welcome

The headlights of a truck would add a lot to this, if you have a fast lens. And good legs. I'll give you credit, whether intentional or not, for balancing a very light patch on bottom left with the dark tree on bottom right. But that top third just takes up space. Two shots, with different exposures, layered and adjusted, might work for this next time.
