    Pink

    For some reason the subtle humour in this intrigued me

    Re: Pink

    I have to say that when i opened this image i immediately had a laugh because of the subtlety but at the same time the blatantly obvious pink color of the writing and the reference to it. Its something that many would not think or bother stopping to shoot, but you have, and it worked and has entertained me this morning .
    Also the technicals are all working . the sharpness lets me marvel at the texture and detail in the brick and mortar, the framing is perfect, and I really love the various tones of earth colors allowing the pink text to stand out well and strong as the bit of humor.
    I like it, and will stick this!

    Re: Pink

    I think it should be black and white, might help improve the subtlety.

    Re: Pink

    Great catch! Well done. And congrats on the Sticky.

    Seems to me that color is required here.

    Re: Pink

    The sentence is a little elementary. I may have seen it in first or second grade, or maybe walking by an English 101 class But it's good, and funny.

    Re: Pink

    Thanks armando, dray, icicle, and GB, I guess the humour in this sort of thing is pretty subjective.

    hehe, yeah, I was trying to be a little ironic. Although, thinking about it again, maybe b/w with only 'this is pink' in color might look cool. hmm...
