I've hears of May Pops for a long time, but now I know that they are available. Where the heck do you live that gas is only $1.2? a gallon? Not California for sure.
Funny sign, but not really an appealing image of a product in any way that I can come up with... well, I guess there's the image of the tire in the sign, but that's as far as I can stretch. There was a 'signs' challenge a while back where this would have fit better, IMO.
As a picture, you could have possibly changed the angle to make it more interesting or eliminated the gas sign. As for humor: it's great. Very possibly the funniest picture here.
does a picture of an advertising sign constitute and advertising picture? even if it did this shot could be much improved by adjusting the brightness so the sign was easier to see
Such a busy background -- really makes it hard to pay attention to the sign. Were there any signs on the building selling the tires? Maybe using one of them, getting some tires in the shot. The contrast here is also a little off -- the sign is darker than it should be -- like it's been backlit. Was the other side of the sign brighter?
I want to move there - gas is much cheaper than here in Northern Virginia! As for the photo, it has a snapshot feel to it with the wires and the cut-off gas sign. Also only borderline fulfills the challenge (at least the way I interprete it) because you didn't create your own ad.
i wish i had something good to say about this photo, but taking a picture of a billboard (with a ton of wires in the background), does not constitute an advertisement shot
The idea of this is not too bad, but the execution leaves a little to be desired. The wires and the poles really are distracting as is the gas sign in the back. The only suggestion that I can offer, is to try and crop it more or get a tighter framing. Maybe you could try it from a different angle to counteract all the distracting elements.
LOL I don't think I'm gonna buy tires over there. But then again, the sign also says that his used tires are new :-) But seriously, I like this pictue a lot.
Too easy. Just a sign and dark too! The wires are more eye catching then the sign. Doesn't make me want to buy these, but I will give ya it's an ad!! Okay.
This is not a good subject for an advertisement photo.. The poles, wires, the wire on your main sign, and the gas station sign in the background make this photo a little 'busy'....
