Nice commercial shot. Very difficult processing to avoid banding in the sky though. You have to play around with levels and curves very very gently to avoid artifacting and posterization.

Not just any road, not even just any choked UK road either, not just any UK choked road with petrol prices sky high - not just them but the bloody M25, a travesty of road design, an eyesore of modern Britain. Driven it more than a few times and never liked it once - even though I get to drive it a lot faster than the blasted 55 mph mandatory speed limit of NY State.

Salman Rushdy meats Marlene Dietrich on a wet night. They're working on a come-back...

Beautiful morning and I like the tone. But it is hard to avoid banding/posterization when processing some exposures, isn't it.

That is a beautiful sight. Nice part of the country too.

The threatening colour of the sky and the light on the bird's eyes make this photo stand out for me. You have plenty of out and about rural photos in your portfolio. I would like to see intimate parts of the countryside scenery - vignettes. Being away from the Green and Pleasant Land means that I value small intimate parts of the whole.

Nice clean shot. Came back to see who and to express appreciation. The comparison of the two subjects gives plenty to look at and the light is nicely mellow.

I thought this was a cut above the usual in the challenge and liked the eye contact, lighting, exposure and pose. Nice work.

An 8 from me since, in my opinion, this does fit the bill and looks good.
