Follow the Patchwork Road

This road, leading to St Léry, is minimistically excellent. This copse consists of more than 200 trees...and If I hadn't had another car hooting behind me I would have been more precise. I expected this view to be sparse yet having its own fascination. I wasn't disappointed, especially with the articistic road repairs.

Enhanced greatly by being viewed on black. Thank you, Jasper

No fences and no lines on the road - unusual in our part of the world! Makes a simple and nice picture!

[Claes]

Neat composition with the two trees in front - the road itself looks like something from of a Belgian spring Classic (cycling).

[Catherine]

This looks so lonely - would never have guessed you had an impatient driver behind you.

Great composition, VML the curves and patched road. Needs a few potholes:):). There needs to be a sign that reads "Don't honk, Artiste on Board"

This is enhanced greatly by being viewed on black.

I think this would make a good b/w image as the shapes are so strong.

Love this nicely balanced composition, layers

[Babs]

Lots of potholes have been filled in on this road.

[Tom]

Sky so gray, road gray tones and patches, dark black trees then bang the green the green. and the green a work of art.

[Connie Little]

Great composition. Lovely leading line from that patchwork road.

@jasperc
Thank you, have added to commentary and ascribed greatness to you;-)

@tosee @wylieclicks Although R suggested a mono version too, I VML the starkness of this image, the curved patchwork and its tones and then as Tom says '...bang the green...'. It's this rising greensward that makes the shot work...for me.

[Richard Sayer]

As you note, I would have liked to have seen this in B&W... but what I like more is that you are developing a strong sense of what you like in an image.

[David]

Very nice.. its the trees for me but the road is good too,

[John Falconer]

Lovely lines.

[Hazel]

Great composition - love the lone tree with all the trees in line.

[Joan Robillard]

I love the lonely tree

[Clare Gadsby]

fab composition! i might also have liked to see b&w as per richard's suggestion ... or maybe just a little more contrast and slightly lighter exposure? really love the leading lines and that patchwork road
