Nice angle getting down on it like that. Good shutter speed and the sky seemed to work with you enough to have a few clouds.
Perhaps the rock on the left is a bit dominant and could crop a bit off there without hurting the shot, perhaps to the stop sign?
Definitely a good job on it.

It's the Texas Gulf Coast, aka FLAT - that's probably the largest single elevation change between Katy and the Gulf I might have dropped the stop sign, probably by cloning it out rather than cropping. Things that buzzle my eyes are the half dozen trees being blurry on the horizon - focus or time or wind or double exposure or... A good strong shot otherwise

Thumbs up

Thanks Dodgeinart and BBenson for your quick comments. You guys just hit the nail on the head. When I saw this on my screen, I had exactly the feeling. If the rock on the left side could be less dominate, if the trees and stop sign can be cloned out…

I'm not adding anything, I know, but I love it. I'd crop the stop sign and try to clone the trees and poles which are in another story. Imagining a clean horizon and the sky! A gorgeous shot.

Thank you all for encourage words and suggestions. I am going to do some Photoshop works on it and post the result later. I will clone out the trees and crop out the stop sign on the left side to make the rock less dominant.

How is this looking now? I cloned out the tress in the distance and crop out the stop sign, made the rock on left much less dominate. Thanks for all your comments.
