I like the original one better than the others but like pinkcandy mentioned I miss the stripe also. I'm not so sure that the road is too dark in the original. Like it is, it would give a designer a good place to put white type. The yellow and white line bring the viewers eye into the composition and set the road apart from the desert. You have nice clouds but they don't look natural, did you do something to them? Your composition is a bit centered, do you have one with a little more sky and a little less road?

I think you need to work towards Jeffs version. In that version the hill on the right side is not even distracting any longer because the road, the lines and the tumbleweed POP out of the photo.

Yellow passing lines in the middle of the road are normally spaced about three feet apart you have them at at least ten or more, and make sure the color between the yellow on the side and the yellow in the middle are the same.
I am wondering why the road has a yellow line on one side and a white on the other they usually have the same color on both sides?

Theres a rule in Image making Called "the rule of thirds" There is also 4/5 others One called Vanishing Point. Thats why the yellow lines mean something.Honestly...It's always your call but I would hold off on this for first 10. I reviewed for 3+ years. there probably wasn't a few days that went by that someone didn't submit this shot. IMHO.It just doesn't have a wow factor for me.And it still seems to be leaning left a taste.My Take on your shot. I prefer a bit more drama.makes it stand out from the pack.

I would have to kill you. LOL. It's a very simple Plugin for PS called topaz adjust.Just a click out of about 30 options.About 40 dollars.Knowing when and which one is the key.

I have topaz with me, i use lot of these tools in my HDR. I wanted to present something out of camera with minimal PS. I will check in Topaz on the effect

Be really careful with the Topaz presets (or probably anything with other similar software). They can look great but really break an image down when viewed at 100% (i.e. they can really pull out the noise in an image). I often find that when you find one that you like it is good to dial it down a bit or blend it as a layer in PS.

I've used every preset setting they have. The thing is Like anything else, It is subject specific. theres a whole section on the right very few use. I use it on faces mostly.Nice you wanna do something out of camera. But..... Take a look at the top 50 and there are a ton of things you can do In Camera with Custom WB.

I saw some images a guy did with tungsten white balance on the background to make it almost look like night, then flash with tungsten filters on his subjects in the foreground. Looked pretty cool.
