Into the void Photo

Photographer’s Note

Road near San Pedro de Atacama leading to the altiplano. Some portions of the road are absolutely straight for several kilometers in a row. The monotony, combined with the sleepiness caused by high altitudes frequently cause accidents with deaths, reminded by "animitas" at the side of the road. A picture of an animita here.

Have a nice day!
Pedro

Bom dia Pedro!
Gosto muito de fotos assim, com estradas infinitas, nos levando às mais belas viagens!
A escolha do p&b foi acertada na minha opinião!
A única coisa que talvez tiraria da foto, pois distrai um pouco a atenção para o que mais belo há, é a diferença da coloração do asfalto na parte de baixo da imagem!
No mais... uma beleza!
Abraços,
Neyvan

Pedro,
I always love photo of landscape like in with a POV from the middle of the road. This one is really good, I love it. Good composition with the road leading in. the lone car show the remoteness and loneliness of the place. The arid land with no vegetation is great for catching interesting shades and shdow. Good sharpness, the mountain in the backdrop can use a little contrast. excellent work this deserved much more attention and comments in my opinion.
Way

Hi Pedro,
impressive POV drawing the eye to the infinity. I also appreciate the B&W (or sepia or something like that) that avoids any distraction given by colours. I would only have tried a bit of selective sharpening on the far mountains to add a 3D flavour. I'll try a WS. Ciao, Dario.
