Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Led Zeppelin (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: Vantage, WA
Date: Feb 29, 2008
Aperture: 1.8
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/4000
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Feb 29, 2008

 Technicals: Levels, USM, and saturated the plant in the foreground a bit.

I went out looking for a road shot in the failing light on a Friday after school for the Led Zepplin challenge and after driving about 1/2 an hour found what I was looking for. I experimented with different angles and shots but finally decided to make the road more subtle by focusing on the plant in the foreground.

I'll be happy if I break 6, it's been a long time since I've been able to participate in DPC so it's just good to be back but I would like to break 6 for the second time ever. :)

Love the clarity and the shallow DoF.

Shouldn't the emphasis be on the bend? My eyes are drawn back to the bush when I look at the road.

Nice color. I have mixed feelings about this photo and keep coming back to it. I like the DOF and I like the blurred road. But my eye keeps getting drawn to the bush and I wonder why I'm supposed to be looking at it. Then my eye wanders back to the road.

Like the DOF. Muted colors and low hills in the background feel like this is a road that goes on and on and on.

I love the blue and green tones in here; there is a touh too much blur that makes your eyes stare at teh a the mounds.
