    By the side of the road

    I took this shot while driving back from Iowa yesterday. It is amazing what you can find if you just get off the interstate.

    Re: By the side of the road

    Beautifully done. One of the things I love about this is how you left just a little of the windshield in and took just a little of the tire out. An odd crop for that reason, but it works for me.

    The processing is heavy-handed, but, again, perfect for the subject matter.

    Great work.

    Yep, i love driving out back and running lost on the old back roads...amazing discoveries.
    I agree with dray about the crop, and I like the gritty processing here.
    Looks great.

    Re: By the side of the road

    Curious - did you shoot this in BW or did you convert after processing the HDR ?

    Great shot !

    Re: By the side of the road

    Very nice indeed. It's almost seemed to transcend hdr, and gone into psuedo-pen drawing.

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    Wonderful range of lights and darks with a really cool texture, a very nice shot.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos
