Challenge: Road Signs Re-revisited (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 5700
Location: Avenida Sertório
Date: Jan 17, 2004
Aperture: F 3.2
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/2000
Date Uploaded: Jan 20, 2004

 This incredible road sign are real in Porto Alegre - RS, Brasil! The borad were scratched and olded, then I overexposed it a lot. The sayings are: Week days from 6 AM to 8 PM.
I try many other points of view, and try to get a chariot running in front of the sign. I can get it, but the image were a bit confused. Then choose this.
Applied a set of post shot processing: Curves, Levels, HSM and NeatImage.

I don't know if it happened in camera or in post but this is seriously over-saturated. Looks like what ever smoothing action or program you've used has also made the edges of the sign go completely fuzzy. Compositionally there just isn't much here. A straightforward shot of the sign from what appears to be from a typical adult viewpoint. The sign itself is certainly something you don't see every day. A more interesting angle, perhaps showing some of the surroundings, would improve the shot as well as reducing the over done processing.

I like the posterisation, great image but needs more background detail for context

I like the sign you chose; it is unique. The photo appears to be too saturated and over processed, though.

A bit overly bright. Hurts my eyes. Good sign.

the white on the sign seems overexposed.

I bit too overexposed for me.

A great original idea, but the focus and effects are a little strange, I'm not sure what you've done to it but it seems very fuzzy on the edges and a little too bright. Like the idea tho!

A bit over exposed for me. Funny shot though!

Colors look unnatural to me, mostly the reds, but, the blue looks a little off as well. That aside, great title for the shot.
