Challenge: Infinite (Classic Editing)

Location: Pumpkin Swamp Road, Goshen, NY
Date: Nov 1, 2003
Aperture: f/10.4
ISO: 100

I liked the utility poles and road markings that make the two-mile straight stretch of Pumpkin Swamp Road seem to disappear into the infinite distance. I tried sunset shots, looking west, and sunrise, looking east. This sunrise worked out the best of the 40 or so shots I took between the two times.

Greetings from the Critique Club!
I like your idea and think the colours are great!
I think overall though that the image would have worked a Bit better if you had used a tripod and waited for the car coming towards you to pass and the one going away to be little further ahead!
But well done you have captured the idea of infinite!

The picture seems a little out of focus and grainy.

Good idea! I get the feeling of seemingly infinite.
I think if you cropped the left off up to the end of the road to remove the light spot in the gully it would do better. Needs more DOF.

tripod would have helped here. it's getting too dark outside, and would have been interesting if you'd shot this from close to the ground
