Spotted these two one-way signs up the road. It caught my eye that the colors were inverse as well as the angle of them.

i guess im of the different opinion that i like the use of border here... i think it's clever and it gives dimension to the shot.

Very clever. I get it. Excellent use of the challenge with the perfect amount 'personality'. Im in agreement with everyone, as well as the author of the photo about the border.

I like it! ;) One sign is not enough to get the point across so they have to use two. jgillard7

Nice photo, but I don't really get the title because the signs are pointed in the same direction.

The border color being the same as the kerb makes it look fake

My very initial reaction was "that front sign is superimposed" - the reason is your red border line. It merges with the red painted gutter and makes the signpost float. I'd suggest a different border perhaps. The focus on the sign is wonderful, the image is perhaps a tiny bit too dark but not my much. Composition is good.

The boarder appears wider on the right, but otherwise, very nice.

The thin red border was ok until it crashed into the red kerb-stones. Otherwise a good picture

I gonna find ya...... sorry just couldn't resist. Very catchy title. I really like how you drew the red color from the shot to the border, but my attention is drawn to that part of the picture first, I don't know if that was your intention or not. I like the depth both of the signs create (the fire lane does help with this also), and you kept the 2nd sign in focus, I like that. There is something that bothers me about the colors though, mabey a bit too yellow, can't totally put my finger on it right now. Was it a hazy day? There is also red spots all through the trees which doesn't look natural, you may have over saturated the red a bit too much. I figured you saturated it to get the effect with the fire lane. If you did, that may also be causing the color problem.
Overall I like the effect with the fire lane, but I feel your colors were a bit off. Thanks for reading my ramblings. 8.

Heehheee, very fun shot.

Very nice... I like the depth of this, the sign in front really pops out. 7

Good catch, and the square format is working for me. I'm absolutely not feeling that orange inner border, though. Too constricting, and stops the apparent 'motion' of the signs.
