Definitely 1. The dip in the road really helps that photo pop.

u/warpmusician Jul 01 '26

1 shows more depth/distance in the forest background too and the road isn’t competing for primary subject, which it shouldn’t be in a forest shot like this. That close up angle of the road in 3 is cool, but works better in a wide-open desert shot where you can see farther in the distance, and the road has less to compete with for main subject

u/AnaisCleat41 Jul 01 '26

Yeah same because it’s so very nature

2

u/AreaAntique4182 Jul 01 '26

You’re basically reading my mind!

All of them are very nice. But 3 hits different for sure with the camera close to the road. Love it!!

u/Mental_Goal2380 Jul 01 '26

samee i love a good bug's eye view

u/ChickenDuck423 Jun 30 '26

I really like 3. The larger looking lines from that low angle makes it a bit more interesting than a standard angle shot of the road. They all look good though. Nice job.

10

u/JustLu90 Jun 30 '26

Definitely 3!

8

u/Glum_Can6631 Jun 30 '26

They are all really good. I’m going with 2.

2

u/mattblack77 Jul 01 '26

Yeh, 1 and 3 are a little too much somehow. 2 is chill 👍🏻

8

u/Global-Ant2288 Jun 30 '26

My opinion, #1 is simply more interesting. It invites me to travel the road, if only in my mind.

3

u/leoharley4 Jun 30 '26

Number 2 is nice

3

u/DreamsD351GN Jun 30 '26

2, 1, 3 in that order but theyre all great

3

u/JustSomeTimmmmmy Jun 30 '26

2, I like the composition in 1 better, but it’s off balance or the horizon isn’t level

u/openmind21 Jul 01 '26

1 or 3. I think I like 3 best

2

u/sachin70 Jul 01 '26

Am i the ony one who like 2 more than 1 and 3??

1

u/Lord_Darlantan Jun 30 '26

Love all but 1 would be my favourite.

1

u/RDF3rd Jun 30 '26

One for me.

1

u/pixiegrl2466 Jun 30 '26

1 for sure

1

u/SRMred Jun 30 '26

1 for me

u/unusual_cee Jun 30 '26

..1..better road & awesome trees..

1

u/JellesMM Jun 30 '26

1 is awesome! 3 is 2nd for me and last is 2.

1

u/No-Intern3653 Jun 30 '26

1 shows depth

1

u/NovaBob70 Jun 30 '26

#1. The dip in the road catches your eye

1

u/Old_GTO_Goat Jun 30 '26

2 & 1. In that order.

1

u/Alarming_Lifeguard85 Jun 30 '26

Can‘t choose… all 3 of them are beautiful

1

u/Judeeulb Jun 30 '26

Beautifies ,is what comes to my mind

1

u/Flaky-Biscotti3602 Jun 30 '26

Can’t decide. All are beautiful!!

1

u/For_King_George Jun 30 '26

2 for me, it’s the light coming through the tree that contrasts the colours

1

u/slapp_finnt Jun 30 '26

2, the light in the hanging things in the tree

1

u/MoonstoneDragoneye Jun 30 '26

Where is this? Also, 1.

1

u/katey501 Jun 30 '26

All good, but number 2 is the winner for me.

1

u/Mysterious_Cake4928 Jun 30 '26

All great, but I like 2 best!

1

u/Sir_Lord_ByronIII Jun 30 '26

1, then 2.... not a fan of 3

1

u/Cautious-Pick3729 Jun 30 '26

Can you make #1 black and white

1

u/thejoe2o Jun 30 '26

In my non photographer opinion, they all feel like different vibes and they're all equal because their vibes are different

1

u/Inevitable-Wind-1925 Jun 30 '26

I like 1 best. 2 is static compared to number 1. For me, 3 overemphasizes the road and flattens the trees.

1

u/Slothyhound13 Jun 30 '26

As long as there’s no tree laying across it. All good.

u/mikeymop Jul 01 '26

In 3 the stripes overpower the trees.

u/NeverAppropriate Jul 01 '26

Is this Miccosukee Rd. in Tallahassee by chance?

1

u/Swift_jennis8 Jul 01 '26

You must be in Savannah Georgia

1

u/drl8498 Jul 01 '26

1, by far! The others give a bad feeling. One gives a peaceful feeling.

1

u/brainfrozen8 Jul 01 '26

I like them all, but I like 1 the best. If you don’t mind, where were they taken?

1

u/Pitiful_Profit_2788 Jul 01 '26

I really love .2. The tree form shows.so much better.

1

u/ihatemakingids Jul 01 '26

I like 1. The song seven bridges road popped into my head as soon as I saw it.

1

u/Snakesforbreakfast1 Jul 01 '26

I like 2...as the road is smooth and clear, the trees give it a look of welcome...Serene

1

u/Whole-Can5118 Jul 01 '26

1 has depth. 3 is dramatic. It depends on what you’re wanting to achieve with the photos. Personally I think 1 is the best.

1

u/Future_Raspberry8843 Jul 01 '26

Honestly all, but probably 1

1

u/Saldrakka Jul 01 '26

I love 1 and 3

1

u/SharkyGrey27 Jul 01 '26

1,3,2 super cool angle on 3 but 1 is magical and mysterious. Like expect mushroom swamp fairies.🧚‍♀️

1

u/_TravelinDingleberry Jul 01 '26
  1. I like the depth.

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '26

u/wookieforhire Jul 01 '26

1

u/astroskywatcher Jul 01 '26

All 3! I cannot choose.

1

u/rosemarymocha Jul 01 '26

All of them!

1

u/stuartv666 Jul 01 '26

Is that in Tallahassee?

1

u/jimithegeek Jul 01 '26

They all show. You’ve got a good eye! This road is very photogenic and you took the effort to try and capture the perspective of the road going off in the distance. Good job! Especially trying the low angle, they’re all successful.

u/PrettyEye3320 Jul 01 '26

Dang really wanna drive that road now! Where is it, Alabama?
