Challenge: Yes or No? (Advanced Editing VII)

Date: Sep 2, 2012
Aperture: 29.0
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/250
Date Uploaded: Sep 4, 2012

 Thanks for all the votes and comments. I truly appreciate it. The ribbon is a total surprise given the score; but welcome. Thank you! This was shot early morning and as I often do, against the sun. That is how I achieved the colour that someone had commented on. I adjusted the contrast and levels slightly.
Oh yes, I almost forgot about the question. There are many one could’ve asked and many had been asked during the challenge: This is what I had in mind: Going home? And of course the answer is yes. We live just around the corner.

Of course it took a DQ to get me to comment. This was one of my highest, if not the highest scoring ones.

Too hot? Not yet.

This is a gorgeous image! It really doesn't put a Yes/No question in my mind, but I'm sure one could be devised. Therefore, I feel it is a shoehorn entry. But I like it so much I'm still going to give it a high score.

Fantastic leading lines.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

My first thought - "Got enough gas?"
Beautiful shot...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/07/2012 02:02:41 AM
I do not understand your question so cannot give a yes or no response.
Voted earlier. This image evokes in me a feeling of a hot summer afternoon and having a long way to go with no help in sight. There is an overall pink/plum tone (on my screen) which gives it a slightly more relaxed feel when one looks longer.

Terrific image. Perhaps one of my favorites in this challenge.

so here goes -

Q. Should I keep going?
A. No, gas (petrol) is too expensive!

This is cool... after dark shot you brought the exposure up in? So what type of thing made the one line light on the right hand side??
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/05/2012 03:49:05 PM
Has it been a long, dry summer, yes it has.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Q: going my way?
A: My way or the .....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/05/2012 01:16:39 PM
Answer: Yes
Question: Is there really an oncoming car hiding in that 2nd dip?

I really like this shot - the road leading ever onwards. Who knows what adventures lie just around the bend?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/05/2012 11:46:10 AM
To go down this road?
Yes!
What a wonderful view!
