I took this about a year and one half ago and I can see how much I have learned since then. Today I would have aimed the camera downward to get more of the foreground road, but because I am not a perfectionist I still like it for the other effects. It was taken in the fall and the colors would knock your socks off but I wanted more drama so it is now BW
Wow this looks like a great drive Richard! As far as composition goes, I think you did a beautiful job. I don't think it would have been better to shoot more foreground it is the trees that make this shot so lovely. Whether you have the vanishing point at the bottom 3rd or top 3rd it still works. The only thing you could have done is maybe, had the car a tiny bit more to the right side but, for me, it doesn't matter the scenery is right up my alley, beautiful!!

This is excellent Rich. Perfect effect. and Yes, the B&W does give it more of a pulse. I'd like to see the original though for the colors.
