    Twister

    I live nowhere near this spot so it is a one off I took passing by on a very wet spring day.
    I wanted to include the bridge with the winding road and I tilted the horizon purposefully.

    Dear Jon,

    I like the idea of the tilt, but I would suggest tilting it the other way, like you were leaning into the turn as it were. But including the bridge seems to split the attention of the photo. I have to alternate my attention from the bridge and the road, back and forth. Try and concentrate on one or the other. I think it would work better.

    Thanks Dz. I knew there was something that didn't sit right.
    I guess I wanted both in there so badly I didn't notice the conflict.

    I was first going to say "Hills in Manitoba?!?!?" but then I read your introduction. All joking aside, the tilting idea isn't that bad, and, personally, it's an interesting way to take a picture. I personally enjoy how this one turned out. The foreground seems a little bland up to the the bridge line, but overall, I love the long twisted road.

    Love the weather in this pic too,

    Ahhh I see. Furthest east I've been is the Alberta/Saskatchewan border, beautiful rolling hills there too. Wow I love our country!
