I figured that the dotted line on a road and the dotted line in magazines (where you're suppose to cut something out) could be combined. I shot it in June 2012, but I've just been working with it for a few weeks. I've been staring myself blind on it now and would appreciate your comments! Room for improvements? Good/Bad?

What comes to your mind when you see it? What's the story behind?

Great concept and execution, this image grabs your attention in multiple ways: first it makes a great impression when viewed as a smaller preview because the concept is startling but clear with good contrast and composition; next there's lots of details to keep your eye moving in the full-view image, such as the opposing biker and scissors, upside-down tree, and are those panicked birds or debris being flung from the upheaval?; and upon further observation you may notice that the artist has included more subtle features that make you wonder - are the shadows over the biker from an approaching storm? are there farmhouses nearby that will be affected? are those other fields just starting to peel too? etc.
A couple things that distracted me - but only upon looking at the image most critically - were that the grass has a "clone tool" look when closely examined, and I wish the bird/debris were a little more obvious. But both of these things may be the way they are on purpose, so take that with a grain of salt.
Synopsis: I think this is a very fun image that is visually and mentally entertaining! It shows that the artist obviously has amazing photo manipulation technique and originality.
What do you think?

It's always pleasing to see someone taking a concept and turning it into a "reality". It is a simple idea & executed well. Only two things that may help you, I found the curve of the left flap, (with the upside down tree) a little awkward, also, I can see you have attempted to introduce some debris tumbling from the flaps, as if to give a sense of movement, but in the scale of the picture, it is lost. Perhaps you could do something to make it more obvious? Well done, I can Imagine this on a large advertising hoarding by the roadside.

Why lightroom rather than Photoshop?
