A visit from the critique club :)
After looking at the photo for a while there's a lot of little oddities that come to mind. First, the technical aspect of the photo. Composition is good but the sign is a little "too close" to the edge. I think you could shift the sign a tiny bit over to the right. The other thing I notice is the jaggies in the diagonal lines. Perhaps you oversharpened the photo a bit.
Now for the artistic quality. I think this photo has some bittersweet irony in it. The road looks desolate but people have been killed :(
The other thing I don't understand is the three crosses vs. 2 fatalities. Do all the roads have one of these signs?
And no, I hope I'm not next! |

| I hope I am not the next. You know it is bad when they have a sign counting fatalities on the raod. I think that means to NOT drive on it ;) jgillard8 |

| This would make me slow down and think! Nice shot, and the Blue sign against the Blue sky goes nicely together. |

| that's a really gruesome sign. i think this would look cool if you desaturated all the color channels except blue to give it a more dead feeling |

| Lol, dangerous road. Wow, that's pretty bad that there's that many fatalities on the road that they've decided to dedicate a sign to it. |

| I would have done it closer to the road , looking down the road to where the deaths may have occurred. |

| Nice composition. The trees are a little blurry, but I suspect this might be from a long exposure and wind combined - not much you can do about that. Perhaps a clearer sky would be nicer, but it's not a big deal. Colour is nice and realistic |

| Are they psychic or something? Or are they just too stupid and can't count? This takes the cake, for me. It's a 10 for stupidity. Also a great photo. Good composition with good execution. |

that is kind of ominous....like they're predicting a third one.
what if a jewish person gets wiped out on the road? will they tag a star of david up there? |
