    "Life is a highway. I wanna drive it all night long."

    I took this during a really hot day in Washington. The day was just beautiful and I liked the feeling I got when I looked down the road...it was like it just kept going and going. Made me think of the song, "Life is a Highway"

    I am not much on these open road shots but this is quite nice. The unusual type of open space (grass lands) but the consistency of the golden color from both sides of the road, included in the road, the farm in the distance, flecks of green, the clouds.... if I have any comment towards improving the photo, I would crop half way between the first dashed strip and the second. Otherwise, I like it.

    The colors in this are GREAT. I also really like the way the hills are all different hues. Nice!

    I agree. I love the saturated color and the soft focus. It looks like a fantasy.

    You were right on with the cropping after the first dashed line. It seemed to open everything up more and elongate the road to give it that feeling that it goes on forever. Good call! :thumbsup:

    Wow, the second photo gives such a different perspective and view, very nice.

    I wonder how different it would look if you took the photo closer to the ground. Although you would get much less road, I think that the depth of the picture would make the landscape seem that much bigger. Very nice
