Perfect Roadby *Dynnnad

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

this took me over 6 months to come up with a version i liked, so i hope you all do as well.

i tried to put a little bit of top gear theme in it... regular topgear watchers know what im on about.

Update:
edited the colours to make it a bit more natural. just a bit

Final update, just couldnt leave it alone

final final edit, the road was too dark ±

Technically, this photo is perfect - colour, structure, composition, in my opinion you got it all right and well-balanced out. However, the road-motif is not the most innovative one, it's been done before from all angles from hundreds of photographers and the range of interpretation just goes that far. Symbol of someone's life, of someone's way to their goal of their wanting to get away from something or to get towards something... when it comes to that it's hard to find an interpretation for this photo - it could be everything and nothing.

However, - and here comes the good part - the impression the photo leaves still is a great one. Mainly, because the composition is incredibly strong.
There's the quite subtile play with rule-of-thirds and symmetry - the centred road and the asymetric white street markings, the symmetric amount of green next to the road but the asymmetric "lines" (meaning the water on the one, the path on the right side) leading to the horizon, the ordered street/land on the lower two-thirds and the chaotic clouds on the upper third... all these things are interesting little details that keep the eye busy in an originally ordered environment.

The angle adds great depth to the photo, it's almost as if you could reach into the scene and the dramatic colouring of the clouds adds to this aspect.

It might not be the most original photo, but it's an incredibly well-executed shot.

This totally looks like something that would be around here where I live in Alabama! There are lots of highways with fields and ponds and stuff liek this around here!
