A fun juxtaposition of the street name and the stop sign. There's a lot going on in the image (stop sign, street name, tree top, power lines), and the harsh shadow on the top of the sign is also a distraction.

I am taking part in the "Comment on the first 10 photos during voting" challenge and you are photo #1

I really like the humor between the two signs along with the perspective and composition of the photograph.

Removing the power lines would have made it a much better photograph. Also, when shooting, stopping down the lens for a greater field of view would have given you a much stronger image. Would have been nice if the tree and clouds were in focus and showing some detail. Maybe even waiting for a pretty blue sky with nice white puffy clouds.

Nice take on the challenge :)

Oh wait, Bear_Music said the same thing below. But really... different from the rest of the top 10, and well executed. Congrats on your finish.

Regarding the editing question, you could have turned the arc of the balloon green, and that would have been perfectly OK, no question whatsoever. Personally, I think you could have cloned it out altogether and not gotten close to being in trouble, but I've been wrong before.

Nice take on the challenge: certainly more creative than mine :-) Congrats on top-10.

My first thought was ho-hum.... then I saw the different colors of flash. That saved this one for me. Very creative.

I like how you set this up. Very diffent from all the other entries. The color emphasis added a lot to the composition. There are actually several small items in this shot, but they do not attract attention to themselves. The image is viewed as a whole, and a very pleasant one it is. bumped to 8
