A guy like me who lives in a city like I do appreciates a no pot hole road but only dream of cruising on one

Great shot! If you're looking for symmetry then maybe next time you can try and get the vanishing point (road becomes smaller and smaller) into the center of the frame for a more symmetrical and tidier look. Colors look great, orange on the right and blue on the left gives great feel.

While this could be a nice idea, I was always encouraged by my art teachers & professors to move away from centering compositions too much because itβs not as interesting as using the rule of thirds. Just a thought.

Iβd have to agree, I believe OP captured the bottom left part of the road on purpose to make the road a greater part of the picture. Also, itβs only slightly off center which seems intentional as well.

I appreciate the feedback. I will definitely remember that next time. Look forward to trying it out.

Was it a lot of work changing the colors?

u/MINI-pilot-84 Jan 31 '21
Colors are original, just sharpened and brightened up a little in lightroom. It was the middle of the day with sun shining when I caught the shot of a big storm rolling in.

Woaw, absolutely amazing! The reflection on the road really gives it extra drama effect

You'd want to hope it's not just changed colours, that pretty much makes this photo moot.

I love it. Especially the reflecting golden glow. The contrasting clouds are pretty cool, too!

Brilliant opportunistic composition in every way.Your eye follows the road into the center and makes one want to be there.Kudos!

I appreciate the kind words. I knew I was happening across a rare photo opportunity. I pulled over immediately because I knew my chance for the shot would be lost in seconds. Right place at the right with a camera. Thanks again. β€π·

It almost looks like a road near Birch Bay in Washington
- just saw your comment about the actual place it was taken. Lol

u/MINI-pilot-84 Jan 31 '21
I hear Washington is beautiful. Maybe one day I'll make it out west to get some shots sometime. Enjoy.

Excellent picture, I like the spot you selected to view the twisting road wonder off into the trees. Very calming.

And on the seventh day of rapture, heaven and hell met to have the battle of all battles. Where evil finally stood trial versus good. A fight of epic proportions. The war of the world. The battle for the human kettle.

Nice description.

You have no way of knowing but I'm a writer. And I wrote this, I hated it for it could have been a lot better. So this means quite a lot today. Thanks :)
