    Re: Subliminal Message

    Interesting double message, it would be really interesting if the same person wrote both messages....

    Re: Subliminal Message

    Well, I have to chime in with one of the funniest things I've ever heard. In an interview on TV, a non-meat-eating woman made this statement: "We should not eat animals. After all, they would not eat us!"

    Re: Subliminal Message

    Greg, not only is this a good subject that you keenly spotted, but you brought it back in a way that is also aesthetically pleasing with this terrific composition. The perspective of this with the "Stop" at the upper left corner and large with the rest of the statement fading off towrds the partially included window with broken panel glass. . .superb. Exposure, composition, subject matter. . . one of the best I've seen from you.

    Mr Yuck - Just to be contreversial the response should be "We will eat people; Its just that we haven't eaten all the animals yet! :"

    Re: Subliminal Message

    Thanks EOS, I thought that the different lettering, one stronger than the other made the shot.
    Mr. Yuck and R_S, I have never heard these sayings but I like them.
    Thanks Gary, I worried with composer on this one for awhile when I was taking it, I wasn't sure if the broken window worked or not. I saw the "eat me" writeing almost hidden in the other letters while I was taking the picture, but the subliminal message idea came about in post processing. I am glad you like it. It's a hit with my son as well.
    Rodger, Thanks to you as well...
