    I like it, what does it look like in B&W? I especially like the No Trespassing sign!

    Definitely a mysterious image. I wish the trespassing sign was not so high up in the frame. Overall, I like it because of the interesting light and intrigue.

    On one hand I agree that the sign could be lower, but then again that would make it the most prominent part of the image, taking away from the mysterious light. Overall I like it very much.

    Thanks all. I thought about Photoshopping the sign lower. I may give it a go.

    Hmm.. there's a shot here Greg but somehow the composition misses with me. I think because the 'lines' are so crocked .. could be lens barrel distortion, or could be an old building that has a lot of old wood.

    I can't decide which one I like more. The sign works in both shots. I do agree with G, it looks a little tilted.

    I like it with the sign lower and it certainly is an interesting shot. Nice camera too BTW. I use it as back up to my Nikon and find that it takes great images for a small unit. I have the old NEX5 tho and not the N.

    I like it Greg and would sway towards the sign being lower but I am just not quite sure how the sign and the light link together to make the shot overall

    Thanks all. I don't think it's barrel distortion GB more like shot at a slight angle to avoid a tree on the right side. Thanks much.
