Taken near Lake Pueblo State Park. Had shot this same scene about 5 different times with different lighting.

Was about to give up and submit a different photo when I woke up this morning and there was fog, which I knew was going to give the right setting to shoot this shot.

Greetings from The Critique Club!

When I first saw this shot I thought it looked familier, been a few years since I've seen it but I've been there when I lived in Pueblo.

This is a great shot overall, the composition, the overall effect. The reflective dots on the ties on the side of the road are a bit of a distraction but the light off the sign itself is very well done.

I know the effect you are going for with the fog and it did work well. A touch more contrast on the fog might help this shot. Not much at all, just a touch. ;) That is about the only thing I can think of overall!

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

I like those warnings when I'm doing more than a buck and a quarter!

Nice shot, I find the white dots distracting though.

That spot at the bottom of the sign and to the right .... very distracting upon first glance. Actually had to take a sec to figure out what it was. Could use a little bit more clarity in the foreground. Good job.

Nicely composed, good lighting on the sign (too bad it's also on reflectors) great mood created by the color.

If the reflectors wouldn't have lit up so much from flash...
Could have used a little better title - maybe like "life's more interesting pathes" or something to that effect. But overall a nice picture.
