Loved this!! When I was a girl of 6 or 7, my parents and I were travelling in Maine and saw an almost identical sign. That was in the mid-50s. The sign and our amused reation to it became part of our family lore over the years. -- Barbara Concord, MA

This is a hilarious sign, I just wish it wasn't so out of focus. Also, your composition isn't very interesting

This sign is way too soft or blurry. Maybe a little sharpening would help.

Pity the focus was not sharp and the tip of the arrow is not in the shot. Good capture though.

Focus is not sharp and I don't think it is a road sign.

Funny sign, would like to see better focus.

A little unsharp and contrasty.

Wish the focus was sharper and it was composed a more interesting fashion. It would be easier on the eye if it didn't "almost" fill the whole frame. Feels cramped. Its kind of like how in motion film cinematography, you should never fram just someone's head in the shot cut off at the neck. Its whats called a tansition point. Bad. Whats better is to either go tighter or wider. (If it were a person that would mean cropping off the top of the forehead and the chin, or slightly wider, a crop including some of the shoulders. Hope this makes sense.
