 Went looking for a sign that has been at a empty pool for years only to find it fixed and working fine. When I saw this sign I just had to get it. It reads.
No walking on the weir
No climbing on the weir
No stopping on causway
No walking on causway
No firearms
Didn't actually read the sign until we got home from a photo session all over the causway lol at least we didn't have firearms!

Strong point: depth of field. Weak point: an image easy to forget.

Indeed. Great statement. The angle is a bit off; iIwould like to see this squared up and rigid like the orders of the sign.

Processing a bit coarse, with obvious halos around the contrasty portions.
Otherwise it seems to fit well with challenge theme.

Very funny! I like the fact that not all the words are visible -- highlighting the NO NOs. I give this photo a big YES.

As your title suggests, the important element of this picture is the word NO. However, leaving parts of the words that follow the NO makes me wanna NO...eh know, sorry, what they mean. You should have taken a frontal shot of the sign and cropped away the other words *completely*. Same remark for "...gh city".

interesting take on the challenge. i think your image would have been stronger if you had gone on and cropped out the top down to just below the sign edge--that stuff adds nothing. this really looks like a fun place to visit, and i'm sure the city council will be approaching you to for permission to reprint this in all the tourist literature . good luck, 6 from me.

You could've crop the top of the photo. but thats my opinion.

what is it?

If you really wanted the focus on the "no" that line should have been centered. As it stands, I would like to see more of the sign.
