Good perspective, nice sharp image, the colors don't seem to work together which is nothing you can control. You will notice most of the reds are at the bottom left and the yellow sign is in the top right. These two dominating colors are fighting for the viewers eye, which in my opinion cause a distraction to an otherwise great angle and composition. JG

thank you all for your comments. the reason why i submitted this photo was because i thought it was a lot of fun. its a very dynamic photo, with a lot of activity. no one commented on what i thought was the key feature of the picture, which was the adjustment someone did to the children crossing sign of them carrying a bag of money. to me that made the photo, was part of the title, and the key to the whole crowded, crazy construction of the photo. whatever, i'm pretty happy with the outcome, voting wise, and appreciate everyone's comments and support. cheers, tom

Wow - so many signs! And look at all the color. That pirate flag up above looks great, the yellow light by the taxicab, too bad you couldn't include the yellow cafe sign on the left a little more. . .

Great colors on this shot. Not particularly fond of the composition though as there is no real definite focal point. Well taken - Inspzil

Ha, I eat at crif dogs last week while looking for my sign pic. Lots of interest here, but balanced nicely.

It´s a clear example of visual pollution. Well done. Good luck!

Nice colourful pic that, by a stroke of luck, fits the challenge precisely. Great stuff!

Very colorful

GREat, Great way to meet the challenge! Gave this a 10. Children crossing, the "death" flag, and the "Eat me" hot dog and the poster saying 'ass", and the tangled flag. How sad. I like the way you caught the height of the buildlings, and used people, cars and trees to add more depth and perspective.

I know I commented this! Neat shot, great color, foreground is great. I esp. like the "Eat Me" and "No Standing Anytime" signs. (what you have to keep walking?) Background isn't so great, but eh, not that bad either. 7 Swash

There are at least four signs which grabbed my attention initially (Hot Chili, Eat Me, No Standing and Pedestrian crossing). Later the apple and pirate sign appeared. In this way the photo is interesting, signs gradually appeared. Cropping is good, although including the very bottom of the hot chili sign would have been nice. Well done.

If you had titled this "eat me" I would have given it another point. :)

So many signs, so little time - very interesting - especially the Eat Me!! and something about a monkey's butt!!
