I like it! And I am glad to see the horizon is not in the middle but in the top 3rd. Only thing I might try is adding a graduated filter to the sky in post to try and bring out some deeper blues and cloud detail...

Totally agree with Bruce...just one little nit though, the horizon is a little crooked. I think shots like this need to be perfect, but very nice shot otherwise, and easily fixable in PS

i still dont think ive got the centering right. the first photo posted had been adjusted, but i dont know what part of the picture to go off of. i originally tried making the spaced of road at the bottom of the pic equal.

no wait i know the straightening is worse!

also in b/w

I prefer the second one. You can't have too accented clouds in the shot like this one.
Also, I agree on the horizon on the upper third and centered road. Good job!

Just curious, was the road always that yellow or is that something treated?

[ranchermom]

there was some pp done, but i actually cooled it off. the road did catch alot of the golden hues that were surrounding in the original. i personally dont mind the surrealistic look that is given, but that is my opinion. thank y'all for all the input.
