awesome place, and contrast!
makes me think of ramond depardon's photograph, if your photo was in b&w, it could be consider like one of his shot

Wonderful shot, mate.
Love the way you've stiched these two together.
What catches my eyes the most is the saturation. Wonderful colors.

Nightline [2004-12-24 10:32:25 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely convincing picture, congrats! The dirty but strong colors fit perfectly to the road.
I'm not sure if you used extreme wideangle or two vertical shoots to get such a great angle?

Merry Christmas!

the cropping works well here. i like the shape of the letters on the road all upside down, looks cool. the stop sign is also a nice touch. maybe overall a little dark?

Wounderful piece. I love the angle and compisstion of this piece. The picture itself almost seems like a warning or declaration. It's as if evern the road before them is well-worn, that doesn't mean it's for everyone. Heh. Anyway, keep up the excellent work! You're an amazing talent.

It's been a while since I've genuinely thought 'wow I'm totally adding that to my favourites', especially about a shot whose subject isn't architecture. I guess I also appreciate it more because you wouldn't find that kind of thing in Britain so it's got some kind of interest for me. I love the road marking, it's really like westernish cowboy type! I like how it makes me look from the vanishing point of the road up to the front though, and not the other way around, gives it an in your face kind of quality. Hmm, I'm just rambling now, but I really do like it

If memory serves me correctly it's 100k's or so from Hanover, I know I was on the phone to my brother at the time, but that doesn't help any does it?? I love the Karoo. I make a point of driving there from JHB to CPT and then up the garden route to PE and back to JHB every year. Some excellent photo spots!

amengualone [2004-06-08 04:56:26 +0000 UTC]

this is a wonderful photo, but i think the way you've cropped the image really take away from it...the untraditional format hurts to look at

schitz011 In reply to amengualone [2004-06-08 12:46:37 +0000 UTC]

Fare comment. I decided when I shot it that I would rather have the lettering cut off as it was something slightly different and I feel it added to the movement of the work. The idea that these elements are bigger than the frame and the camera cannot contain them all. I suppose that not everyone will like this and I thank you for your honest comment (something we need more of on DA!)

Lovely shot. I like how the clouds mimick the road perspective leading you back into the shot. In control of the clouds...
I love the orange and my favorite spot is right in the back where the road turns a purple-ish color and it's surrounded by the orange.
