Happy Accident (C&C)

Just looking for some opinions on this one (also posted in the "Random Photo" thread). I'm pretty happy with how the PP turned out, even though it was a complete accident (accidently moved one adjustment layer under a few others

).

Probably needs to viewed large on flickr to see the full effect.

I can't see it large on flickr.
Maybe you have that option off?

Good attempt - i like it. I think a small bit more contrast would make it great. A wee crop of some of the foreground road would also improve (imo) - kind of a letterbox/panaroma would be nice.

Silly me

Fixed now

I quite like it too, would also argue that the 16:9 crop would be nicer as AnCatDubh mentioned.

Boosted the contrast and a couple of different crops, and I have to say I agree

aaahhhh lol, yes it's good but now I miss the extra length of the road!!
hehe tough one to call.

Sorry but couldn't resist, I just trimmed a fraction of the bottom.

I just love the way the road seems never ending.

All of the crops are good, I just about prefer my crop. (as I would

)

/edit
I notice the larger picture I used for some reason looks brighter then the others, don't know why.

A result of the contrast boost in my own edits no doubt

All now really nice including AnimalRights crop. Look great in large format. Great stuff.

like the pp a lot, however framing could be less roady and more sky-y, I don't really go for the 16:9 crop as a compromise.

Whereabouts did you take that photo?
