19 May 2004

I've been driving past this sign on the way to work for four years now, always thinking that I should stop sometime. It's along a busy road and there are powerlines in the way. And I usually run late for work. Today, however, I was a few minutes early, and it was cloudy (sun would've been behind me and blown out the sign) so I finally stopped. I just love how the name goes with the angle of the sign :) Cloned out a bit of a powerline in the top left corner, levels, toning. One more checkmark on my "must take a photo of xyz sometimes" list. :)


Edit: Played around with the photo some more and now I can't make up my mind (as usual). Here is a version where I switched the red and blue channel before doing the usual post-processing, and then added a bit of soft focus. Which one do you like better?

Very nice image! I do like this much better than the color version. You do a great job with color, but I don't think that color adds to this shot. In fact the color gives it an entirely different feel.

I love this too! All the little flowers, the fence, the angle of the sign and your treatment makes it perfect. Very cool!

This pic was long overdue! Very excellent composition, and a good eye to spot it.
