Awesome light!

I am in with the sky colors and lines.  Great subject of the road leading the eye.

This image brings me to the question, maybe some people here can answer.  I am learning photography (on my own, throw forums and articles) and what I gathered that when one builds a composition, it is very important to observe, that if there are vertical lines in the picture (trees, poles, etc...) they must be kept vertical.  Same for if the picture has a horizon, it has to be a horizontal line.   Will anyone say that this picture is slightly inclined to the left and down? 

Dima,

Yes, my first reaction to the picture was, that's beautiful, now just straighten it out.  It's important to know, in Photoshop, or whatrever post processing software you have, how to do this, and also to make sure you keep a copy of the original. He's going to lose a good little bit of three corners (Nw, Sw, and Se... or 10 o'clock, 8 o'clock, and 4 o'clock) so I'd examine it closely to consider those losses. But, yes, I was struck that in three years worth of comments no one pointed out the picture needs straightening.

 

I'd add that one's eye wishes the whole thing were in focus (see bottom left) but this is very difficult to accomplish in the 35mm format.  With a 4x5 or even 8x10 field camera you could stop down much much further, plus tilt the lens in relation to the film plane in order to achieve focus from very near to very far. Unfortunately our greatest landscape photographers used to work in these formats and our eye -- or my eye, I guess I should say -- brings those expectations to such a photograph as this.

 

Still, all that taken into account, it is rather magnificent. The curve arrows on the road signs lend a bit of a mystical touch to the disappearing road....
