The only signs around me (beside regular street signs) are No Road signs. The good news for me is that half complete roads are normally a good place to drive my petrol buggy. So, why not combine one hobby with the other.

Critique Club:

Composition: Would have changed the antenna running into sign. Liked the dirt and gravel helping to tell a story about this photo. Might have done a slight rotation to the right to help it look a bit more level. Nice use of off-center focal point and bright colors to also accentuate your focal point. the lettering on the car is a bit distracting to me, so if it had been turned around, that would have been eliiminated.

Technical Quality: Bright lighting works well to bring out the colors in the photo, maybe a little less shadow on the sign would have been a minor improvement. No post-processing problems apparent. Nice focus and dof.

Meeting the Challenge: Well done in this area, a boring road sign with an interesting setting, very good!!

Creativity: Although this picture does not "move" me as I like photos to do, it was a good idea for a tough challenge.

Overall: An interesting photo, except for the composition problems, and lack of "wow" factor, and as said before, getting an exciting photo for this challenge was tough.

Hope this helps.

would that be a no road sign. Maybe in a year we can have the no road sign revisited. I would have preferred it without the little car

Wow! Color here is great! Lime gree shows up great as does the rusty color on the wheels and the dirt and grime on the sides of the car and wheels. Road sign is nice and clear also. Nice job.

Interesting shot. That red antenne in the middle distracts a little though.

Should have moved the car more to the right and zoomed out slight. The antena is in the way of the sign as it is.
