so true! the best thing about this photo is the wonderful comments it is garnering...

I quite like this one, but it takes more than one viewing to really appreciate it. The DPC two-second view doesn't cut it. I seem to recall there were discussions that the sky was oversharpened - I disagree.

First impression - when taken with the title, it's somewhere I'd like to live if this is rush hour in the morning. It appears lightly lived in yet deeply settled. No mass rush, a few houses here and there amidst the trees, one tower in the distance. The presentation leads one to think this one on/off ramp/curve is the only one serving this distant community, and that's all it needs.

The one commenter mentioned it's hard to tell if it's sea and sky or just sky - doesn't matter. If one wants to see it as sea and sky, it's there. Also doesn't matter to me that it's evening and not morning. I can't tell the difference without knowing the direction you're facing and the B&W disguises it even more.

It's quietly comfortable. I think that pretty much goes with what Mr 301 said, too.

Ah, those comments make me smile. I'm sure I remember commenting on this, but whetever - I certainly remember looking at it. Some photos creep up on you, some slap you round the face and demand attention, and this one - well, it's like when you suddenyl notice an old friend has been standing by your side for a while, and you don't know where they arrived from.

Your title combined with the lack of traffic made me smile. :)

Why the 200% sharpen?

Stunning. I love the irony of the title.

I like the B and W. It really focuses on the light differences in the sky.

Irony? Road looks quite empty.

Interesting, but I'm not very keen on this one. I'm not sure whether the background is just sky or sea and sky. And the title is not very appropriate.

Love the compostion - excellent point to shoot from and nice light.
I don't like what's going on with the sky. The smudged/sharpened look is a bit too much, I think. Still, it's good.

I think higher contrast between the sky and greenery (grayery?) would make it pop more.

WOW this is gorgeous. Those clouds are amazing. I like the b&w choice, really adds to this image IMO.
