Hi Achim,

Ain't it wonderful to have roads all to yourself, seeing another car then is even special.
However be careful with trucks, lots of accidents happen because of bad tires, when they have a flat tire they repair it in a cheap way and add an extra layer of rubber - not very safe.
I don't have a WS left, but I got the feeling the picture can use a tiny bit of extra contrast.

Howdy Achim!
Amazing perspective. Wonderful road. Good capture. Very original job.

Good morning Achim,
The funnel shape of the road creates an attractive graphism. The terrain looks dry and indeed evokes savannah. Well exposed and composed. My compliments...Danilo

This is a part of the world I would love to visit. Very different scenery than I am use to. I like this pov with the road leading in, and the natural colors. TFS

hi Achim

This kind of POV is quite dramatic as we often see in movies.

I like the symmetry you have placed the road to divide the flat land, the line markings are very interesting to see with the vehicles running in opposite lane.

A perfect composition. You shot from the top of another vehicle?

An interesting perspective down the road Achim.
Where were you when you took to this shot?
I like the feeling of space.Where was the road going to?
Tfs, regards Jean.

Nice use of compositional elements - the high vanishing point, the spread of the road (almost) to the lower corners of thee frame.

Sharpness is ok throughout the shot, it would be interesting to see how this would look with a smaller aperture, maybe f12?

Hi Achim

Reminds me of Mongolia or Arizona. A textbook example of diminishing linear perspective with good sharpness & colour. Tfs!

Hello Achim,
Excellent composition with a lot of perspective/depth.
Greetings
Henri
