Well...I'm no professional and I'm still learning, but I'll toss my 2 cents in.

It looks good, though you should have completed the yellow lines until they went around the curve.
Perhaps also a crop to get rid of the post on the left side.
There's also some green on the inside of the curve.

I'm a fan of selective color.

The pleasing curves lead the eye from front to back. As John points out,
you didn't quite get all the color out of the bushes. Also, the image lacks
any real subject. In otherwords, what are you trying to tell me in this
photo?

The shot could be made better by using a wider angle to capture a bit
more of the curve. A rider or perhaps car coming through the curve would
give you a subject.

If you'd like to see some examples of this type of a shot, try taking a look
at www.killboy.com.

I was thinking subject too. But I like the use of the color/non. Maybe try a little more contrast too?

The idea I get from the fading line is a few different demented possibilities...

1. Two cars crash as soon as the lines turn white.

2. You can selectively blur everything from the tree on the right side on the road, divide the wall with blur, and then run the blur to cover the first tree on the left. This would alsmost give a sense of reality just ending THERE.

3. I was also thinking that instead of blur, you can replace that thought with a shot of outerspace with some stars, planets and nebulae.

4. Orrrr...I was thinking of putting a car there driving, and then having a mouth come out from the scene that seems to be the scene itself that just swallows the car...

Just my .50 cents...
