 I've wanted to photograph this vintage McDonald's drive-thru sign for ages. I love the light bulbs!

Lots of shadow/highlight and tonemapping to bring the sign out of the shadows. Multiply and soft light layers. Curves to deepen midtones. Dodge and burn on sign. Resize, despeckle layer (25%), flatten, smart sharpen.

Nice take! This is what the signs looked like when Mcburgers were $.15 each. Glad you got this before they took it down.

Great contrasts, both within the main subject and between foreground/background, and like how you framed everything.

Nicely captured piece of vintage Americana. Works well with the cloudy sky!

I realy like the angle you chose here. Very unique way not to give in and get both loops of the M. Very well done choice on that. Love the clouds.

Great shot! I love the bulbs too! Now you've started my cravings back up again and it's been a month since I've had my fast food fix!

I love vintage signs!
What I really like about this though is that it is something we see everyday (maybe not a vintage one, but we all see McD's signs all the time), but you made it looks so artsy and unique. Very cool!!
