**** Greeting from the Critique Club ****
Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes. There were a few images composed with this point of view, but I think it's still unique.
Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? There are two minor things about the composition. The large crack up front dominates the image. Six inches forward or back might have made a difference. The road is your subject, but it is barely present. The point of view is too low, in my opinion. Bring the camera up by six inches to bring the road out, while still having the unique low view. The sky is great, but the trees are really bland.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes
- Good focus? I can't really tell where the focus is. It seems to be one of the trees on he right side of the road.
Lighting
- Good use of light? As someone mentioned below, your trees are overly dark.
Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? The subject just isn't that interesting to me. You have a light competing with dark thing going on. The Road and the Sky vs. the Trees and the Crack. The image is very busy. |

| I think the camera is way too low to the ground but it does give an interesting perspective on an otherwise ordinary shot. Creative! The trees seem too dark for me but they're nicely outlined by the blue sky which appeals to me. |

| The Old Way to crawl on your belly to get the shot. I like it. |

| Nice idea for extreme close-to-ground, colors, sharpness, DOF, and compostion. Cropping out some of the bottom would be better, less out-of-focus foreground and distracting break in the pavement and image. |

| Best of the road level shots I've seen...the stripe really leads into the sweet spot of the picture and the trees converging on that little patch of sky give me something interesting to look at. Nice job! |

| Nice scenery. I am not sure the yellow was needed in the center. You did not take the photo straight down the road and this doesn't seem to add. I like this but I can't get the feeling you want to convey. |
