wow! i am really thrilled with all the comments. i posted this picture on the site and them my e-mail changed unexpectedly the next week, so i never got to see any of the comments until just now when i realized i hadn't heard from the site in a while.
the dust spots were killing me, but the challenge said specifically no spot editing, so i left them in. centering in the road was a problem because there was a crest of a hill just behind me and people whizzing by in the right-hand lane that wouldn't see me until it was too late. i suppose i could have went to the top of the hill, but i think there were obstructions in the way - guard rails or something, i don't recall.
thanks again for all the great comments! |

| The lines of the road, the strata, and the colourede soils intersecting make a wonderful image.There are even a few uprights on the roadside to counterpoint it all. Very good indeed. |

| great vision of parallels going vertically (road) and horizontally (the lovely landscape). great realization of the challenge and excellent photography. (i know it's picayune but i am a teeny bit distracted by the car (?) in the distance...once i noticed it, it became a thorn in your lovely image.) |

| Very colorful, nice composition. I might suggest centering the road a bit more (cropping) left-right wise. |

| Makes me homesick. Great use of lines. I would have liked a little more of the mesas, and the highway a little to the left or right, but I still gave it a 9. |

| nice scene. the composition would be even stronger if the road was lined up with both white lines going into the corners with the yellow center line dead center. |

| good photo - what a road to drive long - needs a bigger F stop to put more in focus, one week thing is the dust spots in the sky. |

You lucky person. What a perfect opportunity that road is. Nicely composed and great colours. but the horizon is off whack :)

| I think that this is a great photo with a poor cropping job. I don't like all the sky at the top of the image. a solid 7 though. |

| Yes, the strata just jumps out. Nice image, great subject. |

| Beautiful - what a leading line. And I do remember this view from a couple of wonderful holidays Stateside. |

| great photo, I think a tighter crop to emphasise the vertical road would have worked better. Also its unfortunate that the vehicle in the centre has been caught as this is distracting to me |

| I've submitted a couple images of MV for DPC, most recent in the Silence challenge, but I have never taken this shot. I gotta do that sometime. Nice perspective. It gives that feeling of wide open spaces. Decent landscape. You have the lines of the highway and the lines of the red rocks. |

| This is avery nice road. The colours really add a lot. 10 |

| Beautiful colors! The road seems a bit shifted to the right at the bottom of the picture, and the the grey shoulder on the left accentuates this (as opposed to the grass on the right). I like the car in the distance, down the road; it adds some motion to what would otherwise be an overwhelmingly static frame. |

| I knew someone would do this shot, but I didn't think it would be done this well. |

| Nice capture. It seems like you could have centered yourself on the road better but that's just me being nit-picky. |

| Great subject for the challenge..wonder how it would have looked in B/W ? |

| I like it but I bet loads of people say "theres only 1 road, theres nothing parallel" 6 |

| Wonderful picture. The colors are great and the parallel lines of the road make the shot. It's too bad the sky has those faint black dots. |
