Road Less Traveled

A picture I made on the Wisconsin and Upper Michigan border on a beautiful fall late afternoon. Kind of wishing I was there right now just to travel down this wonderful quiet road. Please view the larger version as it displays much better.
Canon 5D3, 24-105 L lens.

Nick, this is such an inviting image!  Love the undulating country road and the spectacular fall foliage.  Very nice!

That certainly is an inviting country road. The semi-pano format was the way to go. I bet the public love this sort of image. It should sell well. I like the light crossing the road in several places,

Gorgeous light and color, Nick. The undulating gravel road is nice as well.

A road begging me to travel, Nick.  The undulations are great and have the spots of sunlight leading off into the distance creates such a strong eye pull.  The fall colors both on the road in the foreground and in the surrounding trees are indeed wonderful.

I feel as if I could be looking through the windshield of my car staring down this road.  Beautiful color.  Rich tones.  Very nicely composed.  I think this is what you wanted; for the viewer to feel as if he was in the picture and you did just that.

Thanks much guys for your comments.
David, Yes, just my thoughts. I wanted to make one feel as if they could be headed down this road and hopefully be enjoying this wonderful fall afternoon. Thanks all, Nick
