 I took about 20 photos of various signs today -- this one struck me as rather odd.

PP: levels, curves, desaturate a few color channels. Sharpen a bit (hence the whacked out halo's -- but I like them), and I think I threw a selective color in for good measure.

I like the image (definately not that great of a photo, but I think I got an interesting angle and played with the lighting enough to make it interesting to me anyway) -- not sure if it will do good or not though.

Strange haloing in the signs - is this the shadow/highlight tool a little overdone? Notwithstanding that, it makes for a pleasant image.

I do like the selective desat here. The muted yellows have great impact

the pictures is nice especially with the colors though the yellow and the almost b and w background could have been a little more distinc

Nice shot. Although the background is cluttered with powerlines etc, it isn't all that noticeable due to the desaturation. Like it :)

Plain and simple, but very nice exposure. Easy to look at and very pleasing to the eye. Hope you score high!

This sign actually looks like this? I mean, the gradient color look!
Very nice one, good job!
