 Well I know this isnt the most amazing photo but I always thought this street sign was pretty funny and this challenge seemed to fit. Pretty straight forward shot, for post I did some levels, brightness/contrast, USM, hue/saturation, crop, resize, and save for the web. I hope the humor factor gets some points since technically its pretty average. This was taken with my new 35mm 1.8 which is AWESOME and if anyone is considering it, go for it. It is super sharp and very fast. Anyways, I hope it does well. Thanks!

Ha! My brother has a similar photo from a cemetery in his town, but the other sign says "no exit".

Very nice framing, esp with the right angles of the sign, favorite so far.

Nice work with the desaturated background. It really helps bring the foreground to life. So to speak.

Well, when @ cemetery one usually finds themselves at a "deadend". Seems as though someone was trying to make a point...When on Cemetery St.... kind of creepy.Lol.

Another great capture that is humorous and unique, it's not so much Not Quite Right as it is a perfect allegory for what happens when life is over which, to this viewer, doens't quite match the challenge criteria. The combination of monotone background with colored subject is very well done though and the image is properly focused which is a plus. Not being sure of the author's intent, the author gets the benefit of the doubt.
