This shot looks a little washed out. Sorta like you are looking at a painting. Use of a sharpening utility would be welcomed to make the image more vivid. jgillard6

"noise" in the sky, try a digital filter like www.neatimage.com. looks a bit washed out.

the moody feeling captured is wonderful. what if the sign was a bit more off centered? the sky is wonderful.

Looks very grainy, otherwise good.

The sign on the reverse side somehow looks like the shadow of the first sign. Funny effect. The whole background kind of looks like a painting. I like it.

me thinks perhaps you should have stood up in the bed of a truck and shot downwards towards the houses for a more dramatic shot. Perhaps too much sky takes away from the shot

a bit out of focus, but good

Here in my area, we would say that "shot gun holler." A neat sign, but it seems that the focus is a bit off, and I am seeing some noise in the sky. You might want to try NEATIMAGE (free download is available) if you have not. It does wonders on pictures.

A tad grainy, love the background images and composition, though. Makes it very much look like a "hollaw" Looks like something you'd see in my stomping grounds in the South, even with the snowy weather. You might want to have either made the sign really at an angle or straight up and down, too.

Funny title. Focus seems fairly good, but it seems overall on the grainy side (which effects how good the focus seems). It seems to need something more.....

The photo looks blurry, but it kind of adds a hand-painted feel to the drawing and I think it actually works fairly well. Composition of the image is good and the muted colours work well.

Something doesn't look quite right. What is the shadow of the sign on? How can it have a shadow against the sky? This upsets me. That's all I'll say.

Pretty good... But what interests me is the "texture" of this picture? It looks like a Newspaper type of quality. Interesting, I like the look of it. Did you do it this way on purpose? If so, how?

This seems blurry, and perhaps placing the sign a bit more off center would help the composition as well.

Focus?? Too grainy. Looks like you used a paint filter.. Cub

Funny concept, but the sign isn't really in focus and doesn't seem to be placed effectively in the picture.
