Thanks for all the comments, I am flattered by all the compliments and tend to agree with the critcal comments, particularly the ones about the greenish tint in the clouds. I should have noted in the main comment area that I got the brightness and color in the sign by hitting it with a flash at a low power setting.

Wonderful composition, difficult to improve. I'm happy that you got the blue ribbon, since the only 10 I gave in this challenge went for you.

Good job Brennan. If you scroll down you will see that I gave you an eight. I had a strong feeling this one would be in the top 5 and you won a blue ribbon. Congrats...this was a true winner.

This is a great capture. The sky really supports this whole image. Thanks.

Great composition gives the sign tremendous presence; it's a critical part of the image, not just a sign in a picture. Very nice quality photography & processing, too. 8.

georgeous light and contrast
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/07/2005 09:06:39 PM
Wow, love the dramatic contrast of the dark cloudy sky and bright yellow sign.9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/07/2005 06:28:10 PM
the title makes it very funny..creative
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/07/2005 04:47:39 PM
I like the contrast of the sign, though the touch-up may be too much. The overpass curve adds a lot to composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/06/2005 05:13:47 AM
love the use of colour, good picture!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/06/2005 03:36:25 AM
Marvellous. I love the dramatic colours.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/06/2005 02:55:00 AM
Wonderful composition, contrast and use of patterns.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2005 04:45:05 AM
ahh, too bad there's that scratch on the arrow. otherwise a beautiful image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/04/2005 02:31:55 PM
Excellent shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/04/2005 12:38:40 PM
Beautiful composition -- I really like the arc of the overpass. The sign is a bit too saturated for my taste, and a shame you couldn't clone out the big scratch in the sign due to basic editing rules.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/04/2005 06:02:32 AM
Very nice contrast with lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/03/2005 02:18:54 PM
Be careful with yellow modifying. Take a look at those light green clouds.
These is the main thing to be commented. Nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The imperfection in the black of the arrow (sign's fault, not yours...) is a little distracting and takes away from what is otherwise one of the best of the bunch I've seen so far. Great composition, great contrast between the sign and elevated roadway, and the color of the sky does exactly what it should as a backdrop. Very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/03/2005 08:27:10 AM
I like the simplicity of the curves with the dramatic sky in the background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/03/2005 08:08:57 AM
I like the shot. Framed nicely and good subject matter. A little shame that you selective desaturation left your clouds bleeding green on the Right hand side near the lamp pole. Other than that, an excellent shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/03/2005 05:05:34 AM
nice. too bad for the greenish tint on clouds.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/03/2005 02:26:13 AM
i like the way the darkness of the bridge contrasts with the brightness of the sign good phtograph
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/03/2005 02:24:29 AM
One of the BEST compositions of the challenge!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 06:17:50 PM
Strong balanced composition with a nice flow. One of a few images in the challange that the roadsign really fits the image. (9)

Fantastic picture, one of my favorites in this competition, I hope it will place in the top 10 and here is my small contribution - 10.

02/02/2005 02:13:21 PM
Nice saturation. The bridge is a bit yellow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 02:04:55 PM
Great colors and composition in this one. That red truck cab adds the extra special zing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 01:58:27 PM
Just a TAD bright on the sign in my opinion. Sure it will do well though. Nice capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 12:39:50 PM
well composed clear and sharp
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 11:56:08 AM
Too bad for the streak in the arrow. I would have given it higher marks
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 11:50:35 AM
Nice one, don't like the border.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 09:51:48 AM
Love the sky in this one. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 09:06:20 AM
I find the grey in the border to be a little to much. Nice vibrant colors in the sign tho and it goes well with the highway. Good luck in this challenge. <6>
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 08:10:18 AM
good colour cast on the sign, however the back ground is quite well exposed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 06:47:17 AM
HAHAHA! Love the concept and composition of this shot! The highliting off the bridge and colour of the sky is fab!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 06:42:35 AM
Wonderful tones. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 04:45:29 AM
Distracting frame (very) and an overall green cast detract from this extremely strong composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 04:02:39 AM
very nice...perfect focus on the sign, and a nice job in salvaging a dreary dull sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 03:47:58 AM
Good composition, I like the strong colouring.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 01:07:21 AM
