Artist's Comments

Another version of my impromptu roadside foray into sociopolitical photography.

I was driving through Florence and stopped by chance at this stop sign with the word "war" on it as well, and luckily had my camera, so I pulled over and snapped a few shots off.

Fall, 2008.

Critiques


:icondragonslayero:
The world of photography is one that never stops amazing me. It is just incredible how little it takes to make a simple roadside scene into somthing much more.

You've given us quite the political scene here just with the added feature of "war" written on this sign. Simply put I must say this is a stroke of genious and quite frankly some very good spotting!
I would only wish that the message was a little clearer, because "war" is a little washed out here and can be a little hard to spot at first.
Enhancing it through post processing would propably help, but then it would propably look more like it was added through photoshopping. Really a personal decision...

As for the rest of the photo I must say you have done a great job to make it stand out and catch new watchers.
You've put the POV and 1\3 rule to good use. Offcenter placing of the sign makes it look more organized.
I would however consider giving the sign a little more air on the right side, giving it a little more distance from the frame if you know what I mean.

Colour contrast works great for this photo. The pale blue of the background sky balances out the more heavy red tone of the sign. I do however feel the sign looks a little flat against the background. I can't really say what deos this. Might be aperture, might be some slight overexposure... I don't really know.
But I do know that I like this photo! Excellent spotting!

Just an honest opinion.
