ParentxComment 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.
