    For me, the blur does not help the photo. My first thought when looking at this photo was that it was taken out of a car window and you got part of the door or side mirror in the photo. A pretty sunset, but the blur doesn't do anything for me.

    Mirror was there prior to croping but it was not in this photo.Heres the original untouched apart from crop.The blur was mainly to try and remove some of the pavement .

    Thanks for your imput it realy helps

    knight,
    you're original is way better than the blured out version. It was very nice as is. I agree with cropping out some of the street though but I'll add a bit of the skies also. maybe even a "tiny bit" of colour adjustment.

    Nice shot over all.

    I actually prefer your original un blurred shot. I think the road adds some balance (IMO). If you really don't like the road, maybe clone some of that snow in over it. That said, I am not too fond of the third shot, where there fence posts materialize out of the bottom of the photo ;)
    Your original was just great as is.
