Hey I shot this one just before and I really like it. Since getting in to photography I have loved messing around with this sort of thing. Let me know if it works for you. Cheers Dan

Interesting colour and mood you've achieved, Dan, but for me there is a bit of a lack of foreground interest.

Closer crop to the road can make better view :)

Do you have photoshop or even just some basic editing software that came with your camera?

The crop tool in photoshop is the third down on the left of your tools pallette. Or just press C to select it. Then click and drag your mouse to select your area and press enter when you're ready to crop.

Here's a tutorial I found in 20 sec of searching. There are better ones around, but this'll do.

Hey deaw..........maybe this has more impact or then again you could think it is total sh!t. Macka's crop suggestion is a good idea. I have gone too far with opening up the shot but wanted to express the possibilities of PS to you.....you have it so you may as well use it! I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve but I thought I'd post an extreme alternative for you.

My boarder is just an action someone gave me & I keep getting criticised on this site for using it (& so I should) but it's a shortcut to a lo-res postable image so in this case I took the shortcut to post the image for you quickly.
I'm just a mug punter learning about photography myself but I have learned heaps from this site and will always try to encourage others to do so. It's a great place to learn.
