I'm glad you like it. I wasn't trying to be clever with it - just found the angle pleasing to the eye.
Its nice, yes, the lines are good and some of the shapes mimic and compliment each other. It is just a pity the light isn't great.
The camera has a preset called "Dramatic" I like the way it enhances the clouds, but I am not sure about the general grayness of the photo
The greyness is ok, but it is the clouds I'm not sure of though - they look too black, particularly the one on the far right.
Shameless bump with this photograph I took on the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation, Northern California - August 2011.
Please don't take this personally, I have seen this in various other pictures on the thread but I'll give a bit of constructive criticism here: one of the biggest mistakes people make is to have a huge featureless sky. Yes, it might be blue etc, but its still empty and boring (Good dramatic clouds are far better, but if you can't get those, then try and shoot early in the morning or later in the day when you can get some nice shadows).
Personally, I'd crop the sky to
just the right point to put more emphasis on the road/path and the converging verticals, but even then there isn't much to emphasise! (Someone or something on the path or to the right of it at just the right position would have helped enormously. The picture is empty otherwise you see).
Sorry folks, old habits die hard 'fraid and I'm being a di*k, I know.
