Nice shot, love the car and headlight showing...reminds me of Gig Harbor, WA.

Well composed shot. Shows that you had a long way to go.

I like this shot too although I am debating with myself whether I like the bonnet of the car in the shot. It is distracting as it is so white. I think the headlight is a fabulous touch. Fantastic perspective too.

I dont mind about the car bonnet. In fact Id like to see more of it as opposed to less as it provides narrative. It transforms the picture from being about a location to the journey through it.

A good perspective! Although, if it was night - I would be afraid to drive home alone on this road.

Niiiice shot! Great framing with the car hood in the foreground.... that's a great touch. I would've cropped it out but now I see how it really adds to the overall affect of the image. Well done!

I agree with Amy, I think the white of the car actually adds to the story...aptly titled. Nice post-processing! Cheers, Craiger! B-)

A fitting title...we've all been there...or at least a place like it.

Thats one quiet road, something we don't see to often over here. Nice shot, evokes a feeling of the journey

Beautiful shot. The lighting is subtle and different.

hey Craiger--I think that the car adds tone and balance to this ace image--a picture in three parts--good stuff--billy

Craiger, I actually like the car being in the shot but I agree with Duncan I think if there was more of the car it wouldn't be a distraction however it would give you more to the story. I am picturing maybe in the lower right hand corner enough of the car that you could see maybe the rear view mirror and part of the door on the drivers side. Just a thought, I love the shot either way. I don't find the car distracting and I love the headlight.

A journey to the eyes on this road. Surprising how the b&w works so well, but in fact it does. I don't know about the car...each time I look at it my mind changes...no matter, with or without it, it'll always be a great shot.

Cool, gives that "on a journey" feeling. Were you driving and shooting at the same time?
12 Jul 2007 3:10pm
@William: Yes, but I stopped the car and stuck my hand with camera out the window to snap the shot! Thanks for all your comments William!
Candace from Emmaus, United States
