I like your point of view. The selective colouring works in this case. Added to favourites. ~10

Great perspective. Good job on the B&W and the selective desat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good job turning a "pedestrian" subject into something dramatic. I love the sleek textures, dramatic angle, and the polarity in contrast.

I hope this does well for you. I like that it is untraditional. The red mixed with the black and white works very well.

Slow down. You move too fast. Gotta make the morning last. Just kickin down the cobblestones. Looking for fun and feeling groovey. Nice capture of a not-easy subject.

selective color really works
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:00:50 AM
I like your out of the box thinking with this, taking something plain and everyday and turning it into a work of art is tough, and you did it masterfully. Selective desat is very appropriate here and your BW treatment has been handles well.

Great point of view to add interest to an everyday item. I also like your use of selective desaturation here.

Cool job of drawing out the subject by colors.

haha someone has a sense of humor.. took me a sec to get it.. I like the red hand with everything else in b&w
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:27:41 PM
This is quite possibly the most interesting road sign image I've ever seen.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:56:10 PM
Great composition with an effective selective desaturation, and I like the title too =)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:53:16 PM
not sure what to think here
03/11/2009 04:52:56 PM
Good eye! Title fits what we see perfectly in the visual. The billboard sign that says "Rush" paired up with the crosswalk sign of "Stop, Don't Walk" was a great catch. Love how the composition is angled because everything is turned at some angle or such that it gives the sense of motion. The One Way sign points one direction, the Rush (Limbaugh) sign pointed in another direction and then smack dap in the middle is the sign for you to stop. Conflicting messages all around if not for the majority of the image utilizing the B&W. The red of the hand is bold, vibrant and really STANDS out from all the other directions seen in this composition. The black and white tones are also dynamic with excellent contrasts in light & dark.
