 My second submission. I had a tough time with this category - none of my pics were coming out as I envisioned. This, sadly, was one of my better ones. I like the bold red, and the angle gave me a feeling of being a little out-of-control (stopping right before you hit the sign). I doubt this will do well, but I'm determined to try to get out there and take pics.

A brassy and bold composition that commands attention. A first-rate study for this challenge. Well done!

Bang! Great impact. The sign is straight in my face, as if I had stopped "just in time". I also like the sharpness, the saturation and the screws. Very simple and striking. 10.

Excellent framing. The best stop sign shot I've seen in this challenge so far.

This is a boring idea executed so well it is audacious. The square format and the diagonal framing work amazingly well. Lovely geometry, you win the ribbon for the bravest entrant.

This absolutely meets the challenge, and the visual impact of the angle plus close up is good. Good luck in the Challenge.

Nice enjoable quality... good angle. I like the screws in corners.

Best STOP sign in the competition and there are quite a few. I love the close-up treatment and the edge-out cropping. I gave it a 9! Well done.
