This, to me, is one of the many sign shots that could be helped by having a person in it. Perhaps the manager (male or female) standing to the side of the sign, looking at the camera; arms folded... (?)
Fits the challenge. But bit of a dull shot. Perhaps if there was someone in the pool, or more colors maybe. Tough to make this one interesting. But at least it fit the challenge.
while this is a technically proficient shot (focus, lighting, dof are are fine) that definitely meets the challenge, it has no "wow" that takes it beyond being a good documentary shot. i know it's not always easy, but this is where the use of models (such as conscripting available children) can really make a couple points difference in your score. imagine how much more dynamic this shot would be if it had a couple dejected looking children looking standing in front of the sign...
I think this fits the challege theme, but the composition suffers. I would have tried to shoot from a higher vantage from further away to get a clearer shot of the pool.
I'm not sure, but the text, and top of the gate, seems just the tiniest out of focus, or at least my eyes think they are. I think the sign, certainly important, may be too important, not revealing enough of the scene.
