Exciting.

I really like this one! Maybe if the road could be more in the middle of the photo. The area to the right of the road annoys me a bit :) It's not symmetric.
I love the cloud formation!

Not sure what the subject is, the road pulls you into the image towards the mountains but then the clouds in the sky compete with it in both detail and contrast. You've got your techniques right which is spot on but I'm not sure about your reason behind application.

I'm assuming the subject is this impressive mountain range and hoofing great cloud formation. The road pulls you toward them.

The road just happened to be there. I jumped out my car went to middle of the road and snapped the picture...

A little crop to the right hand side would really make this work I think. Love the clouds and the mountains being all chaotic and powerful and contrasting with the lines on the road make this photo stand out for me. It feels dynamic to me. Nice shot!
