The crop is a little off I think. A little too wide on the top and bottom and not enough on the sides. Great idea though.

I like how you have the sign and the full path of the road visible.

One must ask oneself why on earth doesn't this person have his lights on??? He must be one of my fellow Californians. As a group we don't have the road sense of an opossum. (Which are found dead on the road around here all the time)

Clear and bright but just a tad too tight in the crop. A little more room on the left and bottom would be nice.

I've waffled on this for some time now. While I think you make a very strong statement with this photo, in the end I think I must vote for the spirit of the challenge. As such I don't think this image meets the challenge because there isn't a road sign. As for the photo itself I very much like the concept. I have two minor issues though. First is the relatively shallow DOF. I would prefer a tighter aperture and the same level of sharpness in the fore and backgrounds. The second issue is the strong line of the pole and the building mirror each other and are too close. If you came around slightly to the right you could have both virticles but the added distance between them I think would make the image overall stronger. Have you considered a B&W version? It seems it like it would be appropriate for this type of image.

KEEP LEFT

While I like the idea the execution could be a little better. The main problem is the over exposure of the signs. A shorter flash duration might help there. It's hard to say because they are so reflective. A slight bump in contrast and some sharpening should help bring out the signs as well. Perhaps an even longer shutter to get more of the "crazy" lights would increase interest as well. As I said a very solid concept. I wouldn't hesitate to keep at this.

The road sign is by far too small and an inconsequential part of this photo.

Very appropriate sign. I like the contrast between the green and the gray. A little noisy in the sky but not a distraction. I like the very low placement of the sign in the frame. Well done.

No, B&W was definitely the way to go.
