Nice, great shot. Love that they sky isn't blown out (something I've been working on lol) and love the composition. Colors are great too!

Great colors and the exposure seems on the money. Another nice shot

I realize it was early morning and the sun was low causing the road to be in shadow, but that beautiful curve really needs a little more light on it I think. Excellent job on the exposure, I would have blown the sky or lost the road entirely.

I don't know Scott, I think you're right about the lighting.For me, brightening it would lose the early morning hard shadows. Just my take on it.

Very cool road. I agree the exposure could use help. I always over expose my film by one stop and almost always expose for the shadows. Try that next time and se what you get. If youre using digital you will be able to check the difference right away.

Thanks! Much easier if you shoot RAW and get the exposure correct in camera!

I need to look at tweaking that!

I think I bracketed three shots here. I only used one of them.
