Forty Five Miles Per Hour

Thanks for all your comments! This picture got more comments than anything else i've submitted.

If you were wondering, yes, I did put the sign in there on purpose. I thought the "institutional" yellow of the sign was a stark contrast to the lush green of the hillside. As far as the "blowout" on the sign, I actually liked the effect.

FYI: This is the same tree I shot for the texture challenge in July of last year, as suggested by Swashbuckler.

I should absolutely love this picture. It looks like it was shot at a high ISO, so i'm seing some ccd noise. Composition is beautiful, but the ccd noise detracts a lot. 6.

Absolutely original. I really like this, even though I think it won;t do too well in the challenge. My only real beef is the dark spot on the lower right that should have been cropped. 8.

Beautifully done shot, but it does nothing for me. It's somewhat boring. 4.

I'd like to have seen more detail, but considering how this shot was set up, more detaill, less contrast would be impossible. still a nice shot. 5.
