Hmm, trying to tell me something? Not too bad, but uneven lighting (keys too dark, stop letters too bright, bad shadow under hand and behind bottle.

Good message, might be a little better if more of the stop sign was in the field of view. Nice sharp image though!

Feels too contrived. Try a bottle at the bottom of the stop sign beside the road.

Nice composition. Tremendous impact and irony.

A road sign submission with some forethought! The only thing I can think of to possibly re-examine would be to make the glass appear obviously full.

Interesting idea, certainly a more creative one, and has a message attached. I think I would have preferred to see more of the sign. I can tell what it is, but I think it would have had more of a stronger impact if you didnt have to assume and it was hit over the head obvious. The reflections on the bottle are just a tad distracting. I think if the stop sign had been more prominent then this would have been a good image for an advertisment campaign.

a little too much overhead lighting. remember that those road signs are highly reflective! otherwise interesting composition
