It worked pretty nicely to get a position that put the sign on it's edge for this shot. I think that I would have opened the gate, and shot it through the opening from a very low point of view. The open gate would look inviting, and that would have possibly avoided the sign post all together.
There is some very intriguing architecture in the Big Easy and I enjoy all the different designs in the ironwork fences and railings.

This is a very well thought out concept and setup. The image has a nicely abstract, but real at the same time, feel to it. Congrats on the ribbon.

Way cool Jeb. It needs some Jerry Garcia music for full effect.

This scrambles my brain and I sort of like that. Congrats on the great find with the wonky glass, and your inspired use of it to get this photo.

What a fine take on the challenge. The scene looks like it could be here where I live too, except that the trees would be oaks and pines. Congrats on the ribbon.

The colors and composition against the black BG make this a beautiful standout shot.

Used your insect hypnotizer filter? You're da Bomb with your micro macro's. @ f6.3 you had to be positioned perfectly to get the focus and DOF to work for this.
