Very artistic approach! I like the shallow depth and the sharp detail up front. Good crop and i like the simple white frame. 9

This is a refreshing take on the signs. Nice composition. This is in my top 5 for this challenge. Great placement of the sign and the tree. Good color selection B/W, and good crop.

I love the color selection on this! The few leaves matching up with the sign is a nice touch. Great detail in the swamp. Nice angle on the sign, it leads the eyes into the picture. This is one of my top 5.

Sign of Old

This is one of my favorite of the challenge. The worn out R/R sign and the worn down building all fit together nicely here. I actually even like the wires in this shot, they give this a feel of having been left behind to wither away. Great color tone and detail. 8

This is just perfect! The coloring of the leaves matched to the sign is what makes this all fit together for me. Beautiful work!!! This is my favorite of the challenge.

This is right on target for the theme and crisp clear color just the way National Geographic would show it.

Hi Gringo,
Just wanted to thank you for your incredible comment on my December submission, Longing! I must have gone through about 10 different versions of that photo before I finally decided on that one. Thanks for the words of encouragement and I'm glad you liked it!
