I posted this picture (the one in my comments) to my family forum with little comment. My brother posted the following in reply:
"I'm glad the photongraph is in black and white - othewise that copper-colored roof near the center of the picture might be distracting.
"I think you captured a feeling almost like mists of timelessness clinging to that tiny cemetery, even though the world is flying past on all sides at a phrenetic pace.
"Did it feel like that in real life?"
and then later:
" I think I feel that because I know the interchange."
I suppose I should reshoot at a slower exposure to get some motion blur on the highway. I didn't do so because I was precariously balancing on a tree branch without a tripod.
Actually, I think that this picture does make your point much better than the one that you ended up using. Having the sky, even with out the detail that I would like, seems to me to solve a lot of problems, and clears up the image, and relation to the highway for me!
I think that the whole picture comes together with the sky.
I had a previous version with both more sky and more on the left. I chose this crop because there is no detail in the sky, and I cropped off the left because this panorama was already very wide. I did save that version (I think), so I may take another look at it.
A point of frustration is that the ramp on the left is banked away from the cemetery, so without a much higher vantage point, it's not possible to see much, other than tall vehicles driving past. I may have to reshoot during rush hour or something. -- Victor
Victor, I like this image better than the other, but as you said, I still don't think that you have achieved your objective. I would blow the pano out a little more on the left, maybe that would tell us more about the cemetery? Right now it seems like only a partial image, which ironically is funny as you used so many images.
Anyway, I think that this image is much more in the right direction. I would also consider a little more room at the top of the image for the sky.
