COMPOSITION
The composition of this is very strong. The focal point of the picture, the sign, is nicely located on the left side of the frame and points into the picture. This gives a balanced, roomy feeling, and the viewer doesn't feel like they are going to follow the sign and run out of frame. The large tree on the left provides a nice contrast to the more open side on the right. The angle of the sign matches the angle of the clouds nicely as well. If I had to suggest anything to improve this, it might to crop just a hair off of the right side because there are a few stray branch tips about half way down.
TECHNIQUE
The colors in this shot are wonderful. The deep blue provides a nice backdrop for the white sign, and the greens really fill the bottom of the frame nicely. It seems to be a touch oversharp because the ends of the branches *pop* a little more than looks natural. I also see some noise in the sky, but that may be my monitor as it is not real obvious.
OVERALL EFFECT
The sign is technically very well done. Very little can be said to improve it. I can also see this one being a nice "postcard" or wall hanging for a local inn or restaurant. It doesn't seem to be a sign that makes a strong emotional statement, but that is recognizably not the purpose for all signs. I think though, if you could have added something the shot, or had something else in it that would have helped give a "story" to it, it would have scored even higher.
Overall, a great picture, and ver well done.

What a beautiful BLUE sky! The focus on the sign was good and the placement OK. Mabey a little less of the tree on the left and a little bit more of the land, the horizon is a bit low creating a bit toooo much sky and empty space.
The lighting is good and the sign is interesting, not your typical strret sign.7. |
