Scott: Love the light and comp with the road leading the eye into the scene. This is a fine result. It should really be posted in Man & Nature though. >=))>

Beautiful colors in this image, and a nice "road trip" idea. I'm wondering about the comp since the lower right is not too interesting. Perhaps you might have stepped forward of that area to take the shot, also including part of the road that is not too wide.
Several dust spots are in the left part of the sky. I like where you placed the horizon.

I had thought about cropping the bottom out but decided not to. That is the spot I was parked for the whole night and it kinda means something to me.
thanks for pointing out the dust. I need to pay attention to that stuff.


edit:
i just looked at the comp again and Notice the space at the bottom is about 1/3 the shot. I feel that the bottom !/3 adds a great deal of depth the the shot. Without that, it would be a completely different view.  A nice view but not the one I saw during the night out ‘on the road’ ;-)
