funny sign, found art.

This is just cute. Personally would have lessened the angle of the sign.

The cropping and border detract from this shot.

Funniest sign in the challenge! Focus is good, color seems about right, cropping is just O.K., but as I don't know what you excluded, there might have been a great reason for being this tight. Too bad it was a cloudy day, this might have won with better weather. I do like the tree in the background and I'm not going to let your lack of weather control affect the score I'm giving you. 10!!

Who went to the trouble to time a turtle. What does that sign really say? You call the "slow as a tortise" and we call them "Sunday drivers". Every country seems to have their own. Nice photo and cute sign. Glad you got some of the tree in the photo. Not really exciting, but cute and worth a 6 for the photo techs.

I believe that I got behind that driver when I was late for work the other day. I like the photo, not too fond of the border, but I like the photo

This is so cool! Is it for real, or is it one of those signs you can buy? Nice use of colours for the border, perhaps would have cropped the trees off and concentrated only on the sign.

Very original!

I love the diagram on the sign - I wish our signmakers were as creative. Your focus is very good and centring the image, instead of the sign overall, works kind of well.

Funny, I love it. 8 from me.
01/20/2003 11:43:22 PM
I like the tight crop on this, and this is a truly funny sign!
01/20/2003 11:39:13 PM
thats funny.
01/20/2003 07:31:09 PM
Ahahahaa, finally a funny sign!! Very good. Should have zoomed out a little and shot it more "straight on". 8.
01/20/2003 07:29:05 PM
LOL Love that....funny.
01/20/2003 05:18:51 PM
cute. a bit dark. composition is great.
01/20/2003 02:55:51 PM
There's one I've never seen before! Funny!
01/20/2003 11:17:48 AM
i'm not sure if i've seen this one in my international road sign handbook . . .
01/20/2003 10:16:16 AM
I like the angle on this - but that's really slow!!!
01/20/2003 06:37:02 AM
The border is a bit wide, but a good photo inside.
01/20/2003 02:28:52 AM
It seems to me the picture could have been better if you would have not cropped the edges off.
01/20/2003 01:53:12 AM
Wow, that takes me back 20 years! Maybe a little less cropping would have looked better. Nice shot! Cub

I wish my local government was this creative. I don't think I like the way you cut off the curves here, I think it would have been more effective showing the full sign.
