These signs were everywhere in the marshes. It is a shame since this is such a pristine and peaceful looking place. I am submiting this more as an eye-opener for people to think about every bit of pollution they release into the environment and the drastic effects it can have years or decades down the road. This world is not something we own but something we are borrowing from our children.

I like the idea, and I think that you meet the challenge, but there really isn't enough emphasis on the sign. I think a tighter composition with a more shallow depth of field would help direct the viewer more toward the warning, while still seeing a blurred environment in the background.

I would have liked to see less grass at the top and a closer zoom in on the sign. I had to really strain to see what the sign said. Like the idea though.

Looks JUST like one of my marshes :-) But I see you're in S.C.

I think some Levels and Curves adjustments would have made this pop a little more.
