Autumn

thanks for the info margaret. naw i wouldnt spoil the beauty by doing that. i wish i could find such flamboyant colors where i live. i drove 300miles in wisconsin today trying to find something like yours. no luck. your pictures are an inpiration.

I can't deny that the colors are great. We are still waiting for the color peak here in Ohio. The sinuous road really makes the photograph an eye catcher. For me, however, I wish that it was not a contemporary asphalt road. Brick, cobbles, gravel, dirt; anything but asphalt pavement. The romanticism of the image would be greater without that mundane pavement. Just my opinion. As far as the cropping, it is perfectly fine as it is. Regards.

I like the uncropped version.

its too late for me to make comments but your marvellous picture is good without any cropping !

Thank you for your kind comments! :)

Walter, I know what you mean about the gravel road. Yet there's something about the paved road that doesn't bother me, I almost like it perhaps because the painted lines make the curved shape stand out more than a dirt road would. The mood created is obviously very different than if it had been an old dirt road... oh, and then add a bit of mist or fog perhaps.. well, I could go on! However considering I was just in the area for a short time and happen to come across this road quite by chance, I figure this is about as good as it gets.. until I find a different road! Thanks again for stopping by. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Congrats Margaret !

L love how the pic is cropped and framed

I vote for uncropped. It makes me want to go for a drive and from that perspective it's all about the mystery of what's after the hill.

Not wishing to place a "vote", let me just say, Margaret, that the curving road is sexy :-)

LOL Linda, never thought about that way but now that you mention it... Good one! ;-)

Well executed Margaret
