I am so unhappy about how low this finished! Only 3 other ppl agreed that this was an awesome shot? Maybe because the sign wasn't the subject. It is more of a distraction really, but the background is just so gorgeous that I can't blame you for focusing on it. I like the bold border too.

way to big of a border..the sign is out of focus

Difficult shot, might have liked the sign a bit more in focus so you knew what it was without the title.

I hate the wide border. However I really like the pic. The color of the mountains is awesome. Great perspective shot. Really well done - Inspzil

I think you should have tried to get the sign in focus too.

An interesting photo. I like it because it is different from the other submissions, but yet the out-of-focus sign in the forground is more a distraction than it is a contributing element. Maybe if it were just a little more in focus, and occupied a smaller percentage of the scene. Also, I think the huge black border is a bit of a distraction - a little too much border for this image. Still, I like it. 7 md

Scenery on hand like this gives you a huge advantage. I don't see anything achieved by throwing in a blurred sign. Looks like a spectacular landscape, with something blocking the bottom right corner.

That looks like a really nice view. It's a pity the sign is so out of focus.

I like it very much! 9

Good concept and composition, however, the blur of the sign is distracting. It may have been done deliberately, but it somehow doesn't seem to enhance the overall effect for me.

I think this picture would have been positively awesome if you had used a different DOF, putting your aperture at highest it would go, would have allowed the sign to be in focus as well as the background. The colors here are great, as are you use of composition. The sign being out of focus is just really bothersome though. Nice creative use of the challenge. -8- good luck!

I find the border way too wide
01/21/2003 02:56:46 PM
Interesting perspective. I may have included less of the sign in the image, but I still really like the idea. Great colors as well.

Why do I have a feeling this is an Arnit shot? Artistic as usual. I like it.

Beyond neat......fantastic idea. Creative brain with wonderful colors....wow that light is just not seen here in the PNW.

This is an interesting photo. The black and white border complement the black and white house well - which appears to be the focal point of the image. The blurred effect of the sign actually comes across quite well. Good job.

Gorgeous. Great use of the lines and the sign for the challenge. (8)

more like living under the mountain! :-)

You should have submitted this one to "landscapes", sans the sign. It's really very nice, but I don't see how it really fits our challenge.

This border really kills the picture for me; it's just too big.
