tried to flip this horizontally to get the land mass on the right..its a no no for actual integrity but scans well for reading...
my thoughts are that you have split the shot verticall with the land and sea...some imbalance could be evident..i cropped in the w/s to 'connect' the landmass to the right hand frame...
all this is purely photographic nit picking on a really beautiful shot..

Jack Kerouac was right, I can imagine him walking down on this road at night... with the Sea Kitchen roaring... Thanks for sharing!

Hello Sune,
You've really captured the atmosphere of the coast in this photo. Including the road was a great idea, because it is so much a part of that coast. I remember driving this way a few years ago - very bendy!! I couldn't look at the views and drive at the same time!
Lovely shot.
Regards
Colin

Fabulous lighting, the coast seems to stretch away to infinity and the mist makes it look almost ethereal. The lone car almost seems like an intrusion. This image really incites the desire to just get in a car and drive.
