Hi Henk, this is such a great capture. Blue and red go along with each other very well. It is also very sharp. Good work. Sothy

The landsacpe in this part of the USA is wild and rugged. I love the color of the rock and the formations created by erosion amd other natural elements. Good capture of this impressive place. The car is ok and I think the picture would look great with and without it. Nice work Henk.

Static versus dynamics. You got it all in wonderful composition and colors. You got two typical american elements in this shot: the indispensable car and the rough looking nature.

Thanks Henk for this stop on our virtual tour of the States. Once again, the composition is excellent and that car at “full speed” is simply the cream on top of the cake. Beautiful scenery. And your note, well… is superb with all that geological information. Well done.

Hi Henk
Nice capture and good composition. The inclusion of the speeding car is a nice touch too. The colours are very rich and deep which delivers great impact. Glad you had a great view.

A steady mountain overlooking the world in motion. I like the composition, the car is a fine element, good you captured it.

Dag Henk, mooi om dit eeuwenoude landschap doorkliefd te zien door het strakke grijs van de weg en de vage snelheid van zijn tijdelijke berijders.
Groeten Gerrit

Hello Henk,
Your AMerican travel is going on in such a wonderful way. I especially like this one wich is including for once a human element. The road is well included and the car is exactly where is has to be (maybe just a little bit more to the right only)
Well done !
Best regards. Christian

Hi Henk,
A lovely one again in terms of striking contrasts and beautiful light to deliver strong colors. The detail of the speeding car is a bonus that animates this one, probably the sheriff is hiding behind the green bush ;-)
Have a nice day,

Lovely colours, as always and lovely composition. The idea that you captured here is a good one: cars swooshing by without paying any attention to what they are driving past. I think the car is not in the best of places, I would have rather liked on the right side of the shot, but then again getting it in the shot altogether must have been quite tricky, so I won't really complain :D
A tight shot with everything one would ever want in it. As always, simple brilliance :D
TFS!

Hi Henk,
Another one from the dry west. Great looking place like always from you. The car surprised for a moment. And surely enough it's there to make a point!

Great shot with excellent saturation. The strong red of the rocks looks as if it was taken nearing sunset, but from reading your intinerary I guess not. I like the inclusion of the bush on the left. The slow speed which your use of tripod has allowed, gives excellent motion blur to the car. Another good work for your collection.
I see you have set up your travelogue now; good.

Dag Henk, this could be a commercial for the car brand that was passing (Mercedes? Audi? ;) Excellent work of the slow shutter. I don't even mention the background, it is breathtaking!

A blurred car during the day. It was certainly not by chance that that f/22 was selected... And the digital velvia once again. Those reds are awesome my friend. So much to see here. There are so much detail in this picture that I find myself wondering how Canon makes its lenses. The inclusion of this green tree on the foreground is very good since it provides an incredible sense of depth. The clear blue sky once again is good, although here some clouds wouldn't hurt too. Love the light and the way shadows really show the mountain in 3D. Superb!

Hello Henk,

J'aime beaucoup ce road movie que tu nous fais découvrir en ce moment !
Les couleurs de cette image sont superbes. Tu as bien fait d'intégrer une voiture en mouvement afin de remplir l'espace inférieur.
Bien vu.

A+

hi henk,
good idea to include a moving car in the shot, it is good contrast with old geologic formation,

I like everything very much.
Could you once tell me how you do your great framing? (secret??)

Hi Henk,
As always, an incredible landscape, with magnificent colors.
Today, you added the blur car in the foreground... I love it !
It creates a great movement feel in the compo, and your pic almost become a road movie.
Great job,
JB.

Fantastic shot with great light and taken from the right perspective!
I love your timing and this moving "something" on the road...thanks that the photo is so amazing.
The car adds dynamism and the most wonderful is that the rocks are the most motionless "products" of earth so the two mentined aspects are complementary to one another!

Hallo Henk,

Weer zo'n schitterende blauwe lucht...geweldig. De rotsen komen hier prachtig uit met die schitterende belichting. Ik vind het ook prachtig hoe je die wagen in volle beweging hebt kunnen vastleggen! Schitterend werk, Henk!

Groetjes,

Hi Henk. Great photo. The colours are so rich and the composition is spot on. The speeding car is a nice touch, I think it adds a dynamic element to the scene. Thanks for sharing.

Hallo Henk,

Niet snel zullen we een auto zien op deze manier bij uw foto's, nochtans vind ik dit zeer mooi gedaan, uw opbouw vind ik zeer goed gedaan, recht de donkere schaduw die valt over de bijzonder kleurrijke rotsen, en links de fel groene bladeren die dan zorgen voor de nodige sfeer in de foto, het blijven facinerende beelden! Bedankt voor uw bezoek.
PS: Heeft u reeds een test gedaan met uw nieuwe lens?

Groeten,
John

Hi Henk,
A very nice view, red tune is very intresting in this shot but I think contrast is a little bit high
good usage of car motion in frame.

thanks for sharing

That's a great shot, the car really does add to the picture. I would have liked just a little more sky above the rocks to balance the picture a bit.

The rock tower is called The Chimney, you can hike up on top of the rocks to the right of it and almost look down on it.
