I'm looking for a Center of Interest. Yes, the road is there, but so are signs, underbrush, fresh logs, and a gray sky. I'm sort of looking for some reason to look at this image. The Barrier is rather interesting; it along with the road could make up a composition. Or perhaps used in conjunction with that sign stating the obvious: No thru traffic. In other words, it might be fun to see how to simple this subject down to include just two or three important items to give the viewer something to focus on.
And then, to get more different values into an image, even on a gray day, I have tried bracketing my shots and even changing the ISO, for example, to see what happens. And if all else fails, there is always Photoshop to change an image to black and white using the Channel Mixer to give some depth.
Have I given you enough to go on? Or mabee a bit more than you really wanted to hear? (joking)
Thanks, That did help a bit. I hope be able to spend a little more time taking some photos now. I have spent a lot of time studying for a test not photopgraphically related. I will try to put your comments into practice to see if they help.
Welcome to DPChallenge. Now you have your first Challenge under your belt - didn't hurt a bit, did it!
You have an image here that certainly literally meets the Challenge, but it just didn't score very well. Perhaps I can give you a few ideas to try next time...

IN any event, welcome to DPC. I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.
