Road close to home. Intrigued by the waviness.

I have mixed feelings about this image.
I like a lot the texture in the foreground and the composition.
But the DoF is so shallow, I sort of feel pushed out of the image when following the road.
Overall I like that the road is getting unsharp in the distance - it just happens to early.
If you have any chance to re-visit the location I'd suggest to re-take the shot and give it sharpness up to the top of the first wave-hill.
I feel sorry to say this, because I can imagine how it could have been and the basic idea behind this image appears very appealing to me.

Cheers

I have to agree with the depth of field comment. It doesn't seem natural and there's nothing in the image that needs to have such a shallow depth of field. Other than that, I like the concept and framing.

Depth of field is tricky on this one. It is shot with m4/3 at f9 with an equivalent focal length of 580mm. I could go to f11 but not much beyond due to diffraction. The focus point I used is already loosing focus at the near edge of the road so if I focused out farther to pick up the first bump I would loose more at the front which I don't think would be good. I agree that the first bump should be in focus. I think that I will revisit and try focus stacking to bring the front into sharp focus to the first bump.
