I know its not the greatest quality, but I am hoping this one will at least do ok based on substance. We were stuck in traffic on I-35 in North Texas, and this is why. we got up there and I grabbed the camera as fast as I could and snapped...no time to adjust settings on anything. this guy evidently went off the shoulder while going very fast, and flipped like crazy. He was on the stretcher beside the car, and as we drove by, he was on the cell phone.
As for the picture: crop, auto curves, resize, unsharp mask, brightness/contrast..I really wanted to do too much editing to this one (since it was taken through a dirty windshield), but since its basic, I did minimal. |

| This shot doesn't give me the sense of "landscape," either on the normal or macro level. It's a good quick capture, given your conditions. There seems to be more of the scene to the right, and including it might have given more of a story to the flipped minivan. The people are backlit, so you kinda lose on getting good detail in their faces, and your camera bumped up the exposure to get the scene but by doing so it let the sky get overexposed. |

| wow scary, the way the shot is taken it looks more rural than urban but there could be a city just outside the frame for all i know, there seems to be some streaks or marks in this that look like a dirty lens or something i cant tell |

| Given the surroundings, I can't tell if this is Urban or Rural Landscape. |
