great comp, colors nice but a bit saturated, blacks need work, whites ok, great lines, great light, nice movement, great texture, overall a great attempt

is this the highway that leads out of canyonlands to the south, coming out right at Church rock? I think I was here at Christmas - and have a shot very similar - except mine doesn't have the spectacular post processing yours does. Of course mine has NO green in it either. Your title seems to be a lyric? I'm not familiar with the song, or source, but love the sentiment. 7

Nice colour on the hill, would like to see more of the landsccape and less of the road (frankly it's not a pretty road).

Great shot. The road has a desert like texture to it with the cracks. Colours are good as well. 8

I like sharp vivid colors - this is almost pushed too much however as there is a bit of haloing along the top edge of the rocky hill

Nice composition and color.

I really like the effect you have applied to this image to make the colors stand out like they are. The composition, to me, is very nice.

However, my eyes do keep getting drawn towards a small mass of shrubbery about 1/3 from the left side near the road. It's partially the large patch of brightness in the otherwise dark green area.

An absolutely amazing picture. The composition is perfect and the post processing makes it explode off my monitor. Very well done in every way.

One of the OLD roads. Nicely caught.

Nice rich, vibrant color. The rocks appear a bit oversharpened to me, but that's not that big of a deal. Also, great use of leading lines.
