Hi Jay,
Interesting photo, much like the forests of Ontario, Canada.
Years ago before I developed a bit of brains???????? I shot something along
the same roadway as this.

However in my gung-ho way of taking a "powerful composition???" yeah
right??????????
I lay down in the middle of the road camera on road in middle of yellow
stripe!
I hadn't seen any traffic for hours and composition was wonderful stopped
down to f22.sharp from the tip of my nose to infinity.

My car parked slightly off road, lights flashing!

I'm lying there looking through camera when an Ontario Provincial Police
officer in his cruiser came to a screeching stop before I could move!
OOPS!!!! Bad scene!

I do think if photographers were fall hunting game? I may not be here
today!!!!! :-)
OH DEAR ME HE WAS NOT A "HAPPY CAMPER!" To put it mildly!!  :-( :-(

He gave me the worst tongue lashing in words I think I've ever had! Boy was
he mad. 
Then he saw my Leica and asked about it? Seems he was also an amateur photog
and changed the road rage attitude to a curious amateur and what was it like
working as a professional with Leica cameras? Some times you can be so
"LUCKY!"

At that moment, I figured my THOUGHTS of getting a ticket for my stupidity
of lying on the road without anyone as a safety look out disappeared. Anyway
we exchanged business cards, he went on his way, And I mine! Breathing more
comfortably. 
cheers,
ted
