| Nice work Sonya. Karma gives great advice there. If it were me presented with this scene, I would have been more inclined to get down lower on the road itself and use the bend as my vanishing point with a slightly tighter dof. Awesome place to shoot. You really should make more use of this spot.... |

I am no help when it comes to giving punch in post processing, but maybe i can help compositionally. You, did, however, meet the challenge really well. That is definitely dirt~
I think if you could have stood a few feet more to your left so that the road was entering in the lower corner instead of mid frame, it would have given the viewer a place to "start." (or even in the road if there was no traffic) As it is, the dirt pile in front becomes the first place the viewer's eyes rest, and as it is not terribly interesting, there isn't a huge degree of motivation to keep looking. However, here is where the overcast helped you I think. Because the sky is brighter than the rest, the eyes are drawn upwards, and then find the road and follow it.
That road is just begging for a dirt bike or kid on a bicycle to stir up some big old dust clouds. You know like when you ride really fast and lock the brakes and turn in a circle. |

| Wee bit of a dreary shot as you say but it was a difficult challenge to make very exciting! As usual...you got a 6 from me! : ) How on earth do we stay such a consistent pair?! : ) |

| Old indian saying: "Be careful about footprints in landscapes". What a "Blah" looking day it was. Open country is always refreshing though. Thanks for the peek into your world. |

| Beautiful landscape. I love the muted colors and the curve of the road. |

| Looks like we need either a bit more saturation or a switch to B&W. 5 |
