My second submission. I had a tough time with this category - none of my pics were coming out as I envisioned. This, sadly, was one of my better ones. I like the bold red, and the angle gave me a feeling of being a little out-of-control (stopping right before you hit the sign). I doubt this will do well, but I'm determined to try to get out there and take pics.

Bang! Great impact. The sign is straight in my face, as if I had stopped "just in time". I also like the sharpness, the saturation and the screws. Very simple and striking. 10.
This is a boring idea executed so well it is audacious. The square format and the diagonal framing work amazingly well. Lovely geometry, you win the ribbon for the bravest entrant.
