    Lol, That is nicely seen. One of my first thought was that the sky was flat but then I figured out that a more dramatic sky with clouds would simply act as a distraction from what really matters here.

    I also appreciate the overall simplicity of the scene without having a frame that would be too empty.

    Too funny. Nicely composed, great detail in the foreground. Just enough depth here :)

    Seb. . . thanks for the comments. I usually look to shoot with dramatic clouds, but there were none this day and I think i like that the sign is boldly standing out stark against the flat gray sky. I agree with your points about the clouds or lack of.

    CLKunst . . thanks for the comments as well. Glad this is found to be humorous.

    Rebekah . . .Glad to see you on the board. I appreciate your thoughts . . .

    Carl. . . Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your time to comment, much appreciated

    Tom. . .Welcome to the forum as well. No troubles during the shoot. . .but the evidence is out there now. . . . . time will tell. :)

    I must be dense or something, I dont get it.....

    But it is a good image, simplicity is good, I cant picture it with a dramatic sky, lack of color, perfect, well done...It does strike me as amusing, but I cant put my finger on what it is...

    Hi Gary,
    Good shot. I like the comical element. I also like the use of many vertical elements in the shot: the lamp poles, the sign, and the other poles. I wish the backgorund of the man standing were not brushes. I guess the figure would be more prominent if he were against a white background or the sky. Nice shot!

    Yoyo, yes the vertical elements are what I like alot about the scene as well. Agreed about the bush,

    Ballsy, just plain ballsy:)
    I can see a 30x40" print of this hanging in my bathroom!
    How many freinds do you have? I can picture someone at each post with 2 or 3 people behind them in line, and a dog using the hydrant.
    LOL, LOL,
