Lindis Pass is a stunning drive on New Zealand's South Island. I've posted this as large as possible as the Lorry and Cars on the right give a sense of scale. Difficult to see at Photosig proportions though! Taken back in 2006.

Hi Robert. Grandly captured southern beauty. The road and cars were needed to highlight the typical South Island scale of things. You have captured the essence of the high country nicely with crisp colours and focus, and something you can sit and gaze over for a long time. Good composition. Cheers.

A very nice shot of landscape Robert. The colors are magnificent. Sharp and very good natural lighting. Very detailed and lovely angle. The road helps the composition a lot. Regard, Tommy

Beautiful landscape shot Robert. The colors are great and the smooth curves of the hills are a very nice effect. I like the road also and the truck especially adds interest. I'm not sure about the light colored element in the upper right. It keeps drawing the eye, so you may want to crop it out to keep attention focused on the main scene. TFS, Nick

Beautiful scene and very nice view on these mountains and levls and shapes of these mountains. I like this play of light and shadows here. Nice theme with this "disappearing road". Well seen, framing and composed photo. Thank you for sharing. Regards, Michal.
