One of those shots we can't help being sucked into, Rosario, and powerful right there. We are launched right down that richly textured road, ignoring those lens flare marks and slightly odd colour, but then look for something to hold onto in the far horizon that isn't there! A motion creating an overall dreamlike effect approaching surreality, and leaving me feeling a little uneasy. So kudos for an unusual and dramatic landscape, and an appropriate title. John.

Wow thats really eye-catching. You can't beat a road for a lead-in line, but here the shadows from the little humps in that landscape really make this appear like another planet! I cannot award three thumbs for two reasons, first the hues of the road appear a little unrealistic. Second, the sky is a bit bland, it appears there were clouds but they're almost washed out. A ND grad of course would have helped. Overall, very striking, good work! How about some location info? Thank you.

Thanks Robert for this thorough and detailed critique. You are right, the sky is flat, perhaps because there was a bit of fog. This picture was taken on the road to the Paracas National Reserve in Peru. Regards, Rosario.

Creo haber visto alguna foto tuya parecida. Y es una instantanea que me encanta. Ese camino, como tantos tiene, mucha magia al igual que el entorno. Yo trataria de sacar desde un punto mas alto y que no entrara el cielo atras. Subirse al auto, si se pudiera. El lugar tiene mucho potencial. Lo que no entiendo, dado el nivel muy pobre de las fotos que tiene subidas, es como una persona te pone solo un pulgar. Otra buena foto en tu amplia galeria. Saludos
