 This is one of the entrances to Woodlawn Cemetery, some of the families don't like the sign on the gate, say it's tacky and tasteless. I think it's rather funny, LOL! Oh and it was FREAKING COLD OUT HERE!!!!!! Even the dead wouldn't come out in this weather, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Reset the black, white and gray spots, cropped, bordered, sharpened a tad and there you have it.

i like the angling of the sign... very well placed (not centered)... all around good shot, but not worth 1st place

The sign has a literal meaning. Very thoughtful...

That's amazing. I love the angle of view and the framing, the colors and mood are great as are the balance and the shapes/textures.

Great shot, colour contrast between sign and the blues is good. Context clearly shown and interesting textures all over

Nice shot! I wonder if using force flash would have helped with the sign ?

I would not know it was a cemetary without the title. Could use some visual clues. Otherwise, a nice shot. Well lit and focused.

I like the idea, but I wish I could see plots of the cemetary more easily.
