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'

Pretty picture!!! I can almost smell the apples. The white ladder along with the white on the boxes is a good touch. The red adds just enough color to bring the picture out.

Would of cropped out the top line, there is alredy enough to look at in the bottom, and top just distracts from subject. The cross is cropped too tight on the left I think. Just my opinion
