 I cropped, and cloned a lightpole from the photo. I think it is a slam dunk with the road sign. May be just my thought though.

I am happy with the final results. It was hard to get the sign in the photo at all..I was standing in snow up to my knees taking my life in my hands as cars wizzed by me on a busy road. The biggest problem here, was that there was a road between the sign and the cemetery. Thanks for the comments..it helps me realize what could have been better. AJFI

good story; a fill flash might have brought out the color and given better exposure to the sign.

It's a pity that the fence is there. It looks as though some of the snow is overexposed. Very difficult lighting conditions, I would guess.

Great concept for this theme! I think I'd like to see the sign a little sharper though....

Very interesting combo of sign/background.

good juxtaposition of cemetary and dead but background is just too common
