Very striking shot, makes me think of 'Ice Cold in Alex'. So what happened to you, did they leave you behind. Great compo, with the tracks leading into the frame.

Nice shot Oliver, and a great decision to include that little strip of sky above the horizon. Well done.

Anazing view of the car going down.... it is a very hard slope! Your compo is very good, I like it!

Amazing view! One really must be careful doing that. The other side must be somewhat different, as making that uphill can't be possible. Well composed, tracks starting from a corner.
Would benefit of increasing contrast, I think.

Sur la route... avec pour seule horizon l'ailleurs, sans limite... J'aime bien tout ce que suggère ta photo...sans le montrer... Merci !

Salut Olivier.
Des 3 c'est celle ci que le préfère. Certe d'autres sont + graphiques, mais ici on voit ou l'on est. J'adore le désert

Very unusual shot. quite different from many other shots up here. I like how the trail draws the eye toward the centre of the shot providing perspective, and the hills in the background give a sense of place and scale. I think the levels of this shot could be twigged to increase the contrast and saturation to improve this shot a little ( I cant do a workshop from work, but I'll try and submit one from home later)
thanks, A

Le cadrage et le pov sont excellents. C'est presque vertigineux et comme souvent dans ce type d'endroit on apprécie mal les distances. Très réussi.
