I've been past this old and rusting milestone so many times over the years, but this is the first time I remembered to take my camera with me! The 'London 37' (miles) part is no longer accurate, since London has grown considerably since this milestone was put in place - the M25 is only about 18 miles away :o)
The original was rotated, cropped, levels adjusted, focus sharpened, and double bordered.

This has a wonderful aged appearance that just reeks with character. In this high tech society it is refreshing to see this.
I think this image would benefit from including more of the surroundings. It needs a sense of place. Perhaps a little off center and backed off would really bring this to life.
Regards,
you show the age of the marker very nicely, the greens and whites of time show up, but wonder if you should have shown the whole marker instead of just this part of it. The background falls in nicely also, the greens and browns fo the leaves and brances and the dead material around the right side of the marker.
kinda wanna see where it hits the ground, like i'd want to see a person's feet. though maybe if you backed up that far you'd lose the focus on the letters. nice texture, looks ripe for macro shots.
Strange rustic sign. What is this made out of? is it copper or just painted? Good find. I like the brightness at the top of the pic. Looks like you almost got a sun flare. Good pic - Inspzil
Nice photo - it made sense to centre this photo like you have. I might have tried a more shallow depth of field to really blur the bushes in the background (if that option is available to you). Good work
Is this a "road sign"? I obviously don't understand it. But I might figure it out if the photo had been taken further back and I could see some of the street and surroundings. It's cropped too tightly on the sign for those of us who don't live over there. It is a good sharply focused photo other wise. Just too cramped. Best I can do is give it a 5.
