Great mood and use of focus, probably on post processing, but it doesn't matter, what counts, as Chanel used to say, is the effect. And this selective focus can be obtained easily with 4x5 or a PC correction lens. I'd only cut a bit of the road from the bottom. I'm not against manipulation and this image is proof that its use can add to the mood, atmosphere and, why not, "grandeur" of images. Excellent! Congratulations!
