I think that you should use a better program for resizing your images. If you look closely at the letters you have zaggies. I hope that these are not jpeg artifacts. What I mean is that if the sign was a bit sharper, it would be more effective. I like the angle you shot it at though. jgillard6

Hmmm. Not too sure. I think the lighting takes away form the shot it self. I really do. This has the potential to be a wonderful shot.

Nice, different. The shadows are problematic though. I like it.

Nice photo. Good composition and color. Shadow falling on the sign darkens it a bit, but not too much to be distracting. Nice entry. 7 md

cool sign great photo

Verh good shot! Extremely clean background! Focus is very good, but some of the edges seem a little pixelated (sorry, no suggestions) Good color. I'm a bit conflicted on the shadows on the front of the sign....seems to be more interesting, but somewhat obscuring, too (I'm not using that as score criteria, I'm just too wishy washy about it.) 7 Swash

I"d like to see more detail in the sign. It appears to dark.

it would be better if it wasn't shaded like that...

those are some interesting shadows. it looks surreal it might be oversharpened a bit and it looks pixelated maybe because of a higher iso, but still it's a good picture

It's a real shame about the shadows. They're really mean in this photo. Should have waited on the bus longer and gotten the sun somewhere else. It took this from a 9 to a 6. Shadows only problem in my book.

This is a really nice photo. In a way it kind of looks like a painting or graphic. 8 from me.

Very interesting lighting. Normally I might have thought "poorly lit" but it adds an element of interest to the photo. The framing is nicely balanced. Some of the edges look just a little bit harsh - did you sharpen this photo? Otherwise it's very nice - and the blue sky background is wonderful.

Nice sign, but the shadows rather spoil it. This would have worked better at a different time of day.

Love the light......or I guess lack of light......neat shot.

The shadows kind of ruin it. :(
01/20/2003 01:44:02 PM
Just a 10...

I like the lighting on the sign. This might have worked really well in black and white too. 7

The best "straight sign" shot I've seen yet really like the lighting
01/20/2003 02:36:47 AM
I especially like your angle on that sign. Nice job.

Beautiful sign but the shadows kill it. Cub

I like the colors here; I wonder how this would've worked tall instead of wide?
