Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/8 sec.

 All week I was looking for interesting signs to take pictures of, but none struck my fancy. Then I remembered how the route 8 sign in northern Ky looks like an 8 ball, so I rushed over the bridge to find an interesting version. This is what I came up with.

I did channel mixer, levels, contrast, curves, anything I could to try to make it look decent. I did a little neat image because I was shooting at just past dusk & there was a ton of noise. But I'm pleased with the gritty feel to it.

The title is a stretch, I know.

Interesting treatment. It appears, however, to have washed out the right-hand side of the pole.

Without the title, the photo would just be cluttered. With the title, it's at least somewhat interesting...

Nicely done. The graininess of the shot goes well with the B&W. The over contrast of the sky also goes well with the shot. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <7>
