This is indeed a great scenery, and with a few alterations your photo could be fantastic too.
I would crop the sides a sligth bit, add brightness and contrast in Photoshop and maybe a biyt of sharpness. It might even work in b&w. It then will be spot on. Hope, you can use my advice for something!

Thanks Carlos! I'm glad to see the road has some pull outs on the side. As a photographer I'd probably be stopping around every curve to take pictures. Beautiful road. --Dee

Thank you for your kind comments. Dee: this was taken on the road to a little town in the mountains called "Puriscal". This is about 1.5 hours to the west of the capital city, San José. I was standing on a ledge by the side of the main road, about 40 meters above the gravel road. No risk involved in taking it.
Best Regards!

Beautiful, Carlos. Very dramatic and I love the colors and "mood" of the photo. Where were you to take this? --Dee

Nice image, Carlos...good sense of passage over rugged terrain...I esp like the winding tracks on the gravel road. Good idea and nice scene. MFC
