I took this pic a few days ago near my house

I really like the composition, repeating and leading lines. However, the leaning trees create tension to me. Is the horizon not level or is it just the trees on both sides leaning in towards the road?

Love the picture, great composition, the tire treads in the lower right are distracting to me.

Good one! I like the composition; it works nicely in monochrome.

I like the composition as well. Nicely-done!!!! Really_nicely_done!

I like the dramatic lay of the lines. :thumbup:

I will edit this and see how it looks slightly rotated. The level on my tripod showed that everything was level when I took the pic.

Very nice indeed.

"Tension" is an effect you should strive for in your photography. Definitely better than "boring"! And this is NOT boring, even though it is so simple in its composition. Good.

I wouldn't go for tension in a picture that looks peaceful like the one posted. Peaceful does not equate to Boring, IMHO.

I very much like the picture. Love the lines and overall composition.

Derrel · Sep 22, 2012

Wow! As the crop posted by The_Traveler shows, this picture can stand up to even an extreme aspect ratio change! It is indeed a SOLID photo!

OregonT3i · Sep 22, 2012

I really like the version by the traveler. Thank you for the suggestion. Did you change the aspect ratio to 16:9? I am going to have to do that now

the original had two centers of interest that drew my eye - the black shadows that aren't intrinsically aprt of the total composition and the entire rest of the top that melds together beautifully.

It seemed natural to crop off the part that seemed disruptive.

Glad you liked it.
