 My idea for this photocame to me as I was about to fall asleep one night. I had a stop sign in my basement and I thought it would be interesting to have droplets of water on the sign and spell out "GO" in the water. I began setting up for this photo by waxing the sign with car wax. Then i poured some water on it and wrote "GO" with my finger. Capturing the photo was the most difficult part because the surface of the sign is very reflective and made for a difficult time in getting much definition of the water beads. I dont't think the final product is all that bad, however it's not what I had envisioned in my mind. Oh well.

Doesn't appeal to me ... sorry. Lighting is off.

This is cool. Great angle and lighting to show the reflective quality of the sign as well as the understated "GO".
