Hmmm... lots of ones for this photo... unfortunately, those people don't have the balls to stand up and tell you why they don't like it... such is life... I expected to see this one rate a lot higher myself... It was one of the less 'mundane' photos in this challenge... keep up the great work :) + fav

Originally posted by kandyj: Critique Club: Lili, thought at first this photo was playing with the flying plane in the upper left section, then I read the title and got your point! Composition: Good use of negative space, a nice simple clean composition, with contrasting colors. I, like some of the other commenters like the plane in the sky and it helps make fun of the speed sign and balances out the picture a bit. Technical Quality: Some jpg artifacts in the solid areas might have been removed with despeckling, salt/pepper filter or an edge preserving smoothing filter such as neatimage. Wish those sticker looking white things weren't on the sign, but hey, it's a children's crossing and they tend to put stickers on anything they can find, if that's what they are. They are a bit distracting to me. I like the interesting angle of the shot. Except for the artifacts, the shot is crisp, well-saturated and well-lit. Overall: An interesting photograph, likely not something I would hang on my wall, but the challenge this week was difficult to meet with "pretty" photos!! HOpe this has been helpful to you. (;*) Creativity: Nice use of an otherwise boring sign, especially with your interpretation, the plane included and the humourous title.

Thank you for your critic!

Originally posted by wackybill: I agree. This shot was super funny and was also the one that stood out for me this week. I thought for sure It would have gotten 1st or at least 3rd. You must be right, too many uptight people. I at least thought this the one of the most artistic shots of the week. I personally thought it was better than mine but I placed higher than this. Go figure. Once again. Someone has paid the price for being original. 22 "1's" for this shot? I don't think so! Some people need to be more open minded. Oh well. By the comments it looks like plenty of people did like it. Congratulations anyway!

Thank you for your good comment and your encouragement and I am to agree with you! (22 "1's" for this shot? I don't think so! Some people need to be more open minded.)
