To my knowledge yes... but pleaseread the editing rules carefully. :-)

This is very easy to do without breaking the rules.... he went in hue/saturation, selected RED, and changed the HUE to green. This affects all the red on the pic and since only the stop sign is red... ;-)

Can we have a tutorial on how you've cghanged the red to green please? ; )
I have an idea of how it's done, but I've never tried it, and this is done to perfection.
It's a good, clean, strong, simple image, something I like a lot, and the colours are great. The only thing I would change is to crop about half of the sky at the top off - I feel this would balance the image better.
Great work, classic theme with a twist, well done.

Oh ya! My 10 of the challenge! Crisp, clean, perfect blue sky. You should put this one up of sale!

This is definitely one of my favorite shots for this challenge. How did you get the RED to be GREEN? Would be interested in how this was done. Great work! Good luck with the challenge!

Nice idea and done very well. The blue sky works very well with the green.

Hahahaha!!! Great one!!! You know how many traffic accidents that would cause!! Also it's not so easy to get a perfect green out of red. The shade of red really makes the diff in getting the green you want. Did you do anything special to get this? One problem, it's titled to the right.

Very creative! Beautiful sky and lovely shade of green. I keep changing my mind about the tilt on the stop sign, I would like to see it straight but then again, it adds some perspective like this. One more think, The rich colors are wonderful!

Composition is different
Meets Challenge
Visual impact is good, good focus
Originality is nice, good idea you came up with
Colours looks nice, green stop sign against whaite clouds and blue sky.
Was this taken is Ireland??

Very nice sharp, clear photo. The sign looks pretty cool in green!

Excellent. This is my favourite photo of the green challenge. The contrast between the green, white and cloudy blue sky is wonderful. The choice to use a simple white border has enhanced this image even more. Good one.
