[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On my way to work, very early in the morning. I have been seeing this picture in my mind for so long, has I used to drive through this road twice a day, but has usualy I couldn't stop because it was a bit too late to get to work, day after day.
This time I got up 15 minutes earlier just for this picture. I guess it was worth it.

I love the lights inside the trees, but the road add third movement, very nice!

It was defenatly worth it Miguel :) With i road like that taking me to work i think i would run the risk of comming late more or less every day. I really liket the curve and the way the sun shines through the trees. I would love to have a really fast car on the road :).

Miguel this is certainly a very nice shot. i like the softness of the dawn hours, the curves in opposition with the straight rays of soft morning light... Pity we cannot get rid off those road signs... Not your fault. maybe some ps could deal with it but i am not a specialist... nice shot!

Very nice composition. Nice effect with the light. Well done.

Your rising early has well paid off! The lines are beautiful and the rays of the sun are very well captured. I suppose your rise early every day now and watch it for a while;-)?

Ambiance spectaculairement douce! Vous avez su vous placer juste au bon endroit pour attraper cette belle succession de courbes et d'ondulations. Bravo!

Sometimes even it is difficult to assume, that such usual things as road to work, can be so are fine and full of romanticism.
Very beautiful photo, as a hobby.

That road with the ray of sun make of this picture a good composition. colors are perfect also. Well done, Miguel!

I know How you feel when you go to your work early and can't stop because you are late and in your way back you can't stop because you are so tired :0) .. but you shot very nice shot and i feel happy because this the way to your work if you saw mine ..!! it is so crowded ..
well seen

Com as curvas tão acentuadas, pensei que fosse uma estrada na zona de Trás-os-Montes.
Gosto da luz suave por entre as arvores :)

Good composition, the rays of the sun are perfect.
well done

Nice light and a fine composition built up by not only the winding road but also the vertical trees and the diagonal rays. Well done, worth the quarter!

It certainly was, Miguel! Mais uma boa imagem, obrigado! Framing and composition is spot on, and of course the faint mist just makes the shot! Mmmm would be interesting to see what this view is like in broad daylight. Gostei muito!

Great capture of the sun's rays in this photo. And those curves are fantastic - really dramatic. I can just feel the 'early morningness' of this photo. very atmospheric.

Such rays coming between trees always makes a very calm mood image, but here because of this spinning road which makes me think of a very sporty driving, there is a contrast that makes this shot very particular.
Did you think of running it through NeatImage, I do see some noise.

Beautiful curve and the ray of light here... The framing is also great. Using the normal lens might get more details of the curve? just my opinion coz' I wasn't there. Great shot anyway!

If waking up 15 minutes earlier got you a shot like this one, try half an hour and let us know! Seriously, this picture has so many details to see that you remain for at least 5 minutes staring at it! You defenitly got the best spot to get the shot.

Bela foto surfer !
Gosto do sentido de movimento que estas curvas dão à foto e esse facho de luz dá um toque especial à foto. Parabéns !

Grande foto Miguel, a seguir à curva da morte.

Tu tens cá uma sorte.... moras no melhor local do mundo. A foto está espetacular, as curvas da estrada até parecem trabalhadas, parecem ireais. As famosas linhas de luz, que só tu consegues ver, estão excelentes.

Até sinto o cheiro a terra molhada.

Um abraço Miguel

Nice rays, excellent angle.

muito bom mesmo !!! parabens !

Fantastica a prespectiva. Os raios de sol também ficaram um arraso. Parabéns

Miguel, you captured this one very nicely. The light rays are so nice and the curves of the road make such a good composition. Very well done.

Fantástica a prespectiva e os raios de luz.
Magnífico registo.

Conseguiste fazer uma foto fantástica de um local normalmente sem interesse, que são as estradas. A luz está um espanto.

Penso que só alguem que conhece este pinhal de Leiria tão bem como tu, Miguel,lhe poderia fazer justiça.Esta foto está mágica,simples,com o calor matinal e a brisa do pinhal...tem lá tudo.Tb vou muito a Leiria.Adoro passear por aqui.Pela sensibilidade e enorme visão,Obrigada por partilhares.

Hello Miguel. It is beautiful and inspiring the landscape that your you enjoy in the mornings while you go in route to your work, and it is even more beautiful that share it with us. Congratulations. *Ninfa Urania*

Comment ne pas reconnaitre ''le magicien de la lumière''que vous êtes.....
Il y A Longtemps que j'avais pris le plaisir de regarder vos images.....Je me promet de ne plus me priver de ce cadeau de la vie , que vous nous faites...
Bravo et merci pour votre ...talent!!!

I love the effects of the tele lens and the morning sun entering through the trees. If only the focus was a little better it would have been perfect. It was well worth waking up early...

Hello Miguel ,
I like the leading line here, and the diagonal rays. The picture possess a big dynamism and is very impressive. It seems like some kind of divine moment!
My best wishes, Silvia
