Out of time

Don't take my critique the wrong way, but this is the most bland, unoriginal, common photograph you could possibly do. It's like people who photograph pictures of flowers. It's fine every here and there, but when you consider that every single person and their mother has done a photograph like this, it just loses its taste. Now, I'll address this as a photograph on its own: The use of depth of field and the winding formation of the road allow the eyes room to travel. I find that the cloud space acts as pleasing negative space in the top right, it's really poetic. I feel if that tree weren't there to bring focus towards it, the picture on its own would fail a bit more. The tree is good. It counter balances the sun. The sunset is also nice on its own, and does do a lot for the left side of the picture plane. Unfortunately, I believe this photograph is really the best of a bad situation. It's so limited in that there's nothing more to it. It's design is basic. Its content is cliche. Better luck next time.
