 This warning goes up every year as schools re-open. The impact of the school busses and the combined number of students in 5 different colleges is unbelievable.

I just graduated from UMass, and as soon as I saw this picture I knew that was route 9. I agree that I think the focus could be a little better, but I like how the sign is off to the side so you can see the road. It's just too bad you got it on such a clear day. The sign may have made more sense if you had shown how heavy the traffic on route 9 really gets around this time.

Lol, it certainly sounds more like a warning than a helpful suggestion doesnt it! It's an interesting subject choice but I think the overall picture loses something with all that road background in... perhaps if you'd been closer? Good luck with it

There's a back-to-school sign if I ever saw one. I think you may have captured too much of the surroundings, though - all the road and stuff along it in the left side of the photo is, as far as I can tell, irrelevant to the topic of the photo, but it's very distracting and draws the eye away from the sign, even as bold as the sign is. I don't know if it would have been possible to get the shot at an angle that showed more of the school grounds and still showed the sign clearly; if not, cropping out the "road noise" would have tightened the shot up a bit.

Needs to be shot in portrait mode i think and little lacking in 'wow'
