Not a bad shot, love the b/w but I am not sure of what people that don´t speak Icelandic will make of the sign since there are no international marks on it.

Gaf henni sjöu, gangi þér vel.

Nice shot. Wish the b&w had a more pronounce black to white range, because I think that would give the photo a little more pizazz. Bumping up your score though, because I think the capture is awesome.

I think that the crop helps here. I can really feel the vehicle rushing towards the sign.

I really like this photo because it is a great action shot of the car in motion, but if i knew what the sign said i might like the picture alot more. But i have no clue what the sign reads and that doesnt help me understadn the picture.
