Pleas offer your constructive criticism, suggestions, impressions. Many thanks!

Beautiful shot Linda. I really like the 3D effect. The street is about as empty as one of ours at mid-day in the summer

Are you trying to flush out the obsessives? 
. Haze, distractions, power lines etc etc. Yep, the real world can be hard on obsessive types .
On the other hand, if a sense of place was your priority I'm left in no doubt as to the type of place that it is (did you have to wait for the car to appear?).

Excellent image, you can spend time looking at all the details. The processing is excellent as well.

Not your typical landscape shot. But it does have all the elements. Big beautiful mountain, hazy morning, directional sun. And a added bonus a “ main” street.😀

Beautifully composed and presented, Linda. Looks a frame from a Hollywood movie.

Sense of place was not a "priority," it was the point of the photo! Here's a hazy, lazy early Sunday morning, warts and all, including an ugly brown hill devoid of green. Are you attracted to it, curious to examine the details, repulsed by the ugly or bored with the mundane? Hopefully, folks will feel an emotional response of some kind or other.Are you trying to flush out the obsessives? img ... (show quote)
I can't recall for sure, but I believe the vehicle arrived just as I'd determined my composition. Someone pointed out that the image is better than if the street had been completely empty. Little details like that I'm not necessarily consciously aware of, so it was gratifying to hear.
As for haze removal, I think it's a lot more fun - and the results are more alive and full of mood - to work with weather and light that's not picture-perfect...so to speak
Thanks very much for commenting, R.G.

Thanks, Frank. It's very representative of "downtown" Yakima this decade. In Washington State, that "mountain" is just a little hill Not your typical landscape shot. But it does have all the elements. Big beautiful mountain, hazy morning, directional sun. And a added bonus a “ main” street.😀

That's quite a busy photo for a basically deserted street--perhaps the not-so-busy is rather busy after all.
Nice shot, Linda. I like it.

If I had seen this scene, I probably wouldn't have raised my camera because of all the wires. And if I did take the picture, I'd immediately think about trying to remove all those wires. But if one removes the wires, why the poles. If one removes the poles, what is left of the scene? I feel like the most interesting part of the image is hidden behind those wires, yet I cannot see it. Why, oh why, didn't I walk 10 paces further in to get past the wires? I see this so often when traveling. There's a beautiful scene (or building or whatever), but it's hidden behind a mass of wires and cables and poles. So, then the wires and cables and poles become the picture. It is what it is.
Sorry, long response just to let you know my thought process reacting to the image.

It was very educational and interesting to learn how you viewed this photo and what you dislike and what you would do differently. For me, the poles and wires are very much a part of the character of the scene (and the composition). I might not have raised my camera to my eye if they hadn't been there
Many thanks for your time!
