 Taken at High Security Correctional Centre, while photographing the sign the centre dog squad came and checked to see what I was doing as it could have been a major security concern. Luckily I had permission from the General Manager of the centre to take photos as long as no part of the centre was taken during the shoot.

Now, if it were up to me I'd "adjust" the details on that lush greenery to make them appear a different kind of weed ... : )

The sign just doesn't know when to stop, does it! Nice job finding it.

Great job of letting this image fill the frame. Centering it smack dab in the middle works well in this instance, even though it violates the first rule of compostion. The stark red and white really do shout out the message.

Very Amusing. I like this shot. Just goes to show you how much of a point they are trying to make. And lets not forget... people will still try to smuggle stuff after reading this. LOL.
I give this a 7.

Says it all, but be careful taking photos around correctional centres in Queensland. I was hauled inside and questioned for taking an external shot (for an inservice training document) from a distance a few years ago. Seems the Corrections Officers got a bit agitated as it was a short time after the escape of a notorious prisoner.

you've got my attention, too! good take on the challenge. the shot may come across as boring, but all the same, it definitely represents authority. good luck!

Good detail on the sign, but it lacks context. More environment to ground the sign would be helpful.
