'Ess Curve'

Taken at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina.

Your comments appreciated.

'Best "road" shot I've seen in a while. Framing  & the way you have the road entry from the side, then almost filling the frame, then snaking back is a treat. All the motoring enthusiasts are probably drooling. Nicely done.

This is a very dramatic image. Talk about a leading line...! I'm a resident of NC and have not yet been to Grandfather Mountain. This photo makes me want to go there!  Love the simple color palette that enhances the lines. The textures and shading on the road (can't tell if they're from rain showers or road repairs) add just the right amount of texture and interest - a great contrast to the fairly uniformly textured green grass.

The only suggestions I would make would be to either clone in a little greenery or crop the top a bit lower to eliminate the little speck of gray sky peaking through in the upper left corner. It's a small detail, but to my eye, doing that really strengthens the dramatic impact of the image. My second suggestion  is to lighten just a little the very dark pine tree in the lower left. The branches very effectively point the viewer's eyes right into the ess-curve, but the darkness is a bit of a heavy element and, I suspect, a little clipped. Overall it is an excellent photo. You have a good eye!!

A great sense of movement also without cars.

Thank you Doug, Sandra & Maurizio for commenting.

Sandra, I especially liked your in depth comments.
