The Road East

Lovely capture! I feel like I'm walking down this road.

Love your point of view. The atmosphere is excellent.

This is really a beautiful shot, William.  Was there anything unique about the shooting or processing, or was this just a straight shot without anything fancy?  The results sure are fancy.

Thanks, guys for your comments.  Actually, this was one of those shots that sneak up on you while your attention is focused on another shot.  I was set up to get a sunrise shot of a field to the right, when I happened to glance down the road and see this.  So, I grabbed the gear (shooting from tripod) and set up again in the road.  Luckily, there's no traffic on this road at that time of day.

What is see is pretty much as shot, with some adjustments for contrast, highlights and shadows levels.  The most challenging part was the road itself, trying to bring out the texture of the asphalt.
