Hi Max - critique club ...
I'm no great fan of the selective desaturation technique, but here it's effective and useful - emphasise the curves.
I'd back up the point about the horizon line - it seems a little arbitrary to put it dead centre: if you could have got a bit higher and placed the horizon further up the shot there might have been even more impact.
The other down-side is tha amount of noise in the sky, and those big blurry lumps. I wonder if you've over-processed the shot, or cropped out too much for the resolution of your camera. Worth trying a programme like Neatimage, which is excellent at getting rid of just that stuff.
The space and emptines you've caught is excellent though, good work.

| Nice composition but, to me, the yellow lines stand-out a little too much. It's almost like they were painted on afterwards, which rather breaks the mood of the picture. |

| Interesting subject. I might have cropped more off the top, and added to the right. I like the reduced colours and saturated double yellow. |

| Great perspective shot. I'm not really sold on the desaturation of all the colors but the yellow stripes, but I really love the perspective |

| I like the sparseness of this, just the road wrapping around into the distance, one truck. The road is crucial to transportation. I might crop out some of the sky. Wonder about the funny edges on the lines - the white line and the edge of the wall. Did you sharpen it too much perhaps? |

| An interesting picture, I like the yellow lines being left in. I think the truck distracts a little. |

| Beautiful, beautiful. If you were to crop \'much\' of the sky, would it boost the impact of this shot even more? |

| Nice idea, but does not work for me. Prehaps if the truck was nearer and there were some dark heavy clouds in the sky it would make the picture a lot more emotive. (PS - looks like you have two smudges towards top center of the picture which could be dirt on your sensor - have not marked you down for these). |

| Nice crop. Nice perspective. Rule of thirds. Good color harmony. But a dump truck? This shot would look so hot with a sports car in it. -8- |

| This one is very good. The opinion is that the sky is litle to overexposed but the rest of the photo is very good. Nice work |

| Extremely effective photography. I like these 'isolated colour' shots a lot - and the choice of colour in this pic is excellent. Good title too. 8 |

| The desaturation of all but the road lines works very well with this image but maybe a little bit to much sky. Still an 8 |

| I think i'd crop a bit off the top and move the truck more to the left, but otherwise a very nice shot. Is this Lake Ponchetrain (sp?) headin' towards New Orleans? |

| Excellent. As a standard B/W or color this wouldn't be so special but desaturating all but the crisp and sharp yellow line is an excellent idea. Also a good choice to have this much DOF. I haven't rated all but so far this is one out of two for the first place. |
