Stop Sign

Where I live, there's a parkway and there's a hidden path that leads off into the woods. There is no road but a grassy trail. A stop sign faces towards the trail, as if there was once a road to drive on and it warned you that you are approaching the parkway. I later learned that the road in question is owned by the NY State Water supply.

It's not fantastically done, but I love the colors that the shot created.

hmm, this would be a very nice shot, if only it were better quality.

It's a great concept, but obviously I would have loved to see better quality, as well as a much more sharp, crisp stop sign. You might want to also look into some basic rules of composition as well, as centering your subject is certainly not always best!

I want to see one with the trail in it with the stop sign, just to show there is no road there.

The next chance I get I'll definitely try to score a better shot. Even I know it's not that great. I just found the light in it interesting. I'll try to get a shot of the trail too. It's a little hard since its RIGHT off the parkway. I don't want to get run over. I can only get night shots because the traffic is too heavy and it's right after a major turn so people wouldn't be able to stop in time.
Please dont think these are the only pictures I take, I can take very good photos, I even admit this isn't a good one, just something about the light fascinates me. I appreciate your criticisms and I'll definitely take it into account when I get the next chance to photograph it.

Thank you deeply! <3 Rattlesnakes eh? I heart snakes. and spiders. Not many do. If I find something else that's random but kinda ties into UEing, i'll post that as well.

I think it's a great photo, makes you wonder what's out there! Almost like you're out wandering in this dreamlike foggy mist and then BOOM this sign pops outta nowhere demanding you follow it. Weird.
The blurryness is great, what good would it be if it was sharp? You people have no imagnation. I guess if it's not flaky paint and an old chair it's CRAP!

i really don't see how anyone could find this photo interesting, it doesn't have anything going for it other than being a poorly shot / composed / whatever else shot of a stop sign. is the "one way" sign supposed to add some element of intrigue? looks like any other corner of anytown usa with a one way street. sorry!

It's just creepy and dreamlike. The color is cool.

the flash off the "one way" sign ruins it imho. try some other angles, or better yet pick a more interesting subject.

So I was UE'ing my cul-de-sac last night and I noticed that the lights kind of glow and really light things up. . . .crazy, huh?
Also, peer conformity is totally creepy. . . whenever I back my vehicles in, my neighbors always copy me.

You guys are just complete photo snobs. Who the hell are you anyway? You nerds somehow famous or better than this girl who just thought her photo was neat looking and wanted to share that? What a bunch of assholes.
