      Great image. The dwarfing of the car and road by the mountains is well conveyed here.

      Wow, Stunning shot. That car is in just the right spot.

      Spectacular. Straight out of Ansel Adams...

      As has been said the car makes the shot - gives real perspective to the grandeur of the mountains. Love it.

      A certain mod from 'PA' would, i'm sure, be impressed with this? I love the way the road draws you through the image.

      I seriously thought this was Ansel Adams 8-O amazing capture on all levels: great composition, fantastic conversion and the car just tips the scales to flawless capture. great work

      Excellent Pauline. I traveled part of this road myself back in 94 and it is beautiful scenery isn't it? Super conversion and as mentioned before the car adds so much to this one.

      Wonderful image and the car give the photo scale..

    17. pollylew (28 months ago | reply)

      I am quite overwhelmed with your feedback. This road is absolutely wonderful - one of the best drives in the world for certain (and I have travelled quite a bit!) I was actually a passenger in the car and this scene was shot through the front windscreen.

      What a wonderful, dramatic shot! The car gives such a great sense of scale and the B&W really works so well.
