Rajan,

This is a magnificent sight but there are problems due to the two zones the upper one being the sky and only expressed partially. The picture seems a fusion of two views. The first ending just below the sky is a study on the curving roads. The second cuts away the foreground road to give more balance. The two pictures might work well as a vertical diptych with the middle section being n common with the upper and lower panels.

Your monochrome version of this image in the series, here. works better as there's no such division. With B&W, we see the sky as a modulated part of the ever changing tonalities and an organic flourish to the work and payoff as one's eyes follow the road to the horizon.

Maybe you might post it here too.

Thanks for sharing,

Asher

Asher,

You make a valid point concerning the "two zones," as you put it. The image I posted was taken handheld and I had to process it to bring down the brightness levels in the sky and recover the detail in the mountains. Whereas the b&w image was made the next day with a tripod and a graduated neutral density filter, which is why it looks much more integrated.

I think I can do better work on the post processing and perhaps even the cropping to address the issue you raise.
