Perfect! This photographs offers so many questions on why, what, where..... and the answers are as individual as the imaginations of those viewing and pondering.
Superb

The darkness is what get me. The way the light comes in accentuating the knuckles makes it slightly ominous in my mind. Miss S might not be coming back.

Beautifully captured image that is cinematic in its scope. Exceptional use of available light.

I adore the hand on the wheel, an impression of experiment and force. Often, I think that the important thing is to traverse the way, and not the way itself. Your photograph is there to reassure me on this idea ;)

Wonderful idea, detail and composition. The hand on the wheel has such a strong and determined look to it. The viewer can easily be swept away by this image , and feel that (s)he's being taken on a mysterious journey.

How could have missed this one ?? I love it so much, Sharon... I have some of this kind (not so good, of course) I made on Armenian roads I'll post some day, but yours is wondrous since I can feel I'm at the same time the girl behind and the man driving... Thanks for this (I was offerring myself a lil'walk in your stunning portolio and it won't be the last time, nope :) Have a sweet sunday*
