I really like the idea behind this, but technically, its a little lacking in contrast, and I'm not crazy about cropping the corner of the sign off. But it certainly is a beautiful, blissful scene!
I don't know if there was anything above the sign that you needed to exclude, but putting the sign where it is in the image leaves a strange composition.
great find. It's tough to think of everything when you find a jewel like this and just know it fits the Challenge. I wonder if there was another angle where you might have gotten rid of those black thingees to the right and that cable in the middle. The pond with ducks and the sign are perfect.
the composition needs some work. why did you cut off the sign? i think if you could have gotten a higher angle and positioned the sign slightly further to the left, and waited for the ducks to come closer into the frame, it would have been better. Also the lighting is kind of dull making the photo appear flat. Maybe a sunset in the background would have made this fit the sign better. Too bad there's a power line there. I know you can't help that, though.
This could have worked out to be truly great is not for 4 minor things.
1) The Bliss rd sign is not fully in the picture.
2) The powerline needs to be cloned out.
3) The extra post needs to be removed.
4) The back of this other sign on the right needs to be taken out.
I'll give it a 6
