Description

"Imagine yourself winding along a deserted back road, enjoying the coolness of an overcast day, the wind blowing through the car clearing your burdened mind.

Suddenly, mother nature decides that you need to slow down..."

This was shot with my trusty Sony Cybershot camera, with just 2 piddly megapixels. The image has been cleaned and color-corrected a bit in Photoshop, as well as framed-in for a 'widescreen' feel.

Actually a pretty nice shot. Not quite as sharp as I'd like to see, but I understand that has more to do with your camera. I think you should crop a bit off the left, placing that edge of the image just to the left of the striped caution sign. 7/10

Thanks for your thoughts sdavis. Unfortunately, my tired old camera is all I've got at the moment. I agree that it's starting to show its age after 3 years.

My main focal point for the shot was the road itself, which is why it's dead center, and I was using the car as something to draw your eye down it. If I were to take a shot like this again, I think I would have taken it much closer to the road, which would problably help that subject focus issue.

Nice shot, I think it would have been better if the car was not cropped. Well done though

Thanks for the positive notes everyone!

Hopefully I'll be able to put up some futher shots in the near future. I've got a lot of older shots, but of course, I only want the best ones here. I'm also hoping to get a new camera soon, so I can get more control, not to mention sharper shots.

I've been away from the site for far too long.

Well this goes to show that pixels is not everything when it comes to photographing

The composition is good and the perspective is very nice, my only crit would be that bumper of the car is cut off. Well done

I like the color scheme and the 3 dimensional "look" of everything

I like the perspective a lot, its well executed. My only complaint is the typography chosen. It seems too distracting

i like the subject, the colors..good job. only thing is I would have sharpened it a bit more, and saturated a little bit more to make the colors brighter...but good compo!
