Thanks for the comments. I saw this mailbox of a rural highway and couldn't resist, it was so bright, like a celebration.

Absolutely GREAT TITLE for a crisp clean and emotional photo. NYC
(My dad is a volunteer fireman and I am wondering if this is also.) I
enjoy the photograph and that for which it stands. 10

I can't really tell what this is; a mailbox or something?

I don't see the connection between this and a celebration.

Comment by Tammer:
I like the concept of celebration for the brave men and women of the fire departments. For me though, your photo doesn't fully portray that to me. It's a nice mailbox, but compared with other entries in the challenge seems to lack an overall..."wow" factor. I'm not good with the technical jargon, but I wonder how this would have been say if there was a uniformed arm reaching in for some mail or something? Just something else in the photo to make it more..."exciting" for the viewer?

To me, this subject might work best for a photojournalistic approach - maybe including the fire hall or a fire truck (if possible) in the background. The mailbox by itself doesn't hold a lot of interest imho. However, a more abstract approach might work as well -- perhaps a closup of the red side of the mailbox emphasizing the textures + geometry of the box. Just my thoughts.
