So my first pass gave this a 6 since I thought it over sharpened, but coming back I find that your lighting and sharpening really gave the feel to the title. The dark sky with the golden grass makes for a nice picture - 8

A nice choice of subject but the vignetting at the top is overbearing.

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
The gradient is overdone in this one. This is an interesting scene and the road makes a good leading line.

I'm really not a fan of the editing - I don't think it serves the image well. That aside, I think you found an excellent place to take this, and composed it very well. You made good use of what I can see of the natural lighting.

A little too much processing....

Comment by bassbone:
a very cool location with all the textures etc, but the processing is too extreme for my taste - and the sky does not match light below as if two or more layers were not blended correctly

Ok - so you used an ND grad filter - it does not change the fact that your sky does not match the ground light so it looks like two separate images rather than one. The sky is just too dark for the brightness of the light on the ground. Cheers

A shot that is primarily focus blur in a motion blur challenge. I regret that I only have a single 10 to give you for this.

i love it when my auto-focus fails. this has potential, but is way too hot on the left, leaving a largely imbalanced image.
