Really! Photo was not distorted in PS, the viewpoint is a bit flattering but it is a fun part of the road.

Awesome piece of road. Would love to drive that. Great POV; B&W is a good choice.

I love the way you have achieved an abstract feel to this wonderful shot purely on viewpoint.

Congratulations on winning my challenge. It's definitely all about the road and I like the impact of black and white :)

Location
This photo was taken on a freshly paved part of the main road on Krk Island, Croatia.Time
This photo was taken in the morning. I have noticed this view while driving and had to stop and take a photo.Lighting
The light was quite strong and I wondered if it would work well on the photo. The sun was high so there were almost no shadows.Equipment
CANON EOS 50D and 70-300 lens. Long lens was very important for this photo because of the perspective. The road is curvy but with right perspective it looks even more so. I was standing on the road so no tripod.Inspiration
I was driving this new stretch of road and looked in the mirror. This scene made me stop and take a photo. I took several photos with different car combinations but this one looked just right.Editing
Not much. Cropped a bit, turned into B&W and slightly adjusted the levels.In my camera bag
CANON 50D, EF 100 macro, EF 70-300, EFS 10-22, EF 50, mini tripod, lens cleaning kit, spare battery.Feedback
Keep your eyes open and have your camera with you. The opportunities will appear, you should be ready to use them.
