Thanks, guys! Sorry I haven't been around more lately. Just way too busy, my life fits this topic very well! I did take a couple of days off when the film crew turned up practically on my doorstep and had fun sharing some of the results with all of you. They will be done filming soon and all of these signs will disappear. ~Sharon

It kept me busy for a bit reading the signs so it must be on topic. -COAmature

I will also chime in that is nice to see you posting here again Sharon :-) I like all three you have posted, but this one a like best. I would have thought those were all election related signs looking at the thumb. I would imagine a lot of people have to sit and think for a while when confronted with this busy barrage of signage!

Certainly busy and I think the crop adds to the effect although the question arises: how effective are the signs when the road is so empty? The result is an intellectual tension looking for the answer. -tv

Nice seeing you around, Sharon. I like how the rider is going in one direction and the singes are going let & right.

Thank you, CJ and Penny! CJ, I tried cropping the road out and the image kind of lost its context so I left it in. Besides, I have a nice rule of thirds thing going here! :-) Penny, unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, there is nothing to decide about. These are also part of a movie set. Same movie as my other photos but in a different town. You can kind of tell, all the same typeface and colors, not how it would be in real life, and they will be taken down when they are done shooting. Thanks for your comments! ~Sharon

Good one Sharon! This might look busier with the plain road cropped out more - what do you think? :-) CJ

I wonder if he'll ever decide..... either that or he's just enjoying the escape... whichever, it's certainly busy and I like it!! Penny Street

Thanks, Rod! I'll get him to change his shirt next time! ~Sharon

Geez the owners don't believe in the subtle message a:-) Nicely shot Sharon but the reddish colour of the bike rider makes him too much of a focal point for busy I think. If he was slightly blurred the signs would have dominated more. Well done anyhow & it's nice to see you posting again but us blokes don't need anymore competition as we're finding the going getting tougher all the time:-)
