I am assuming the 09 is 60? I almost missed it because the guardrail and road lead the eyes to the stop sign. Then, they kinda stop on the middle of the page. It looks like a busy road, but if it had been possible to frame it differently, so that the 09 sign was the point of focus, it would have made more impact.
Lucky find. Well, unless you went out and MADE the sign be upside down... This is a little dark and kind of flat -- although I do recognize that it's probably morning/evening. A quick tweak in PS (or whatever editing program) would bring out the levels a little better I think.
Nice idea, but it doesn't feel like you put much effort into the execution. I'd bet it's just a snapshot from the car, in which case I'd have to give you kudos for the composition.
I may be missing something here but I don't see any evidence of 'upside down' anywhere in this photo. Oops.. I see that the title gives it away now... the 09 is supposed to be 60? I'm sure that you are going to hear much about this one but I do see the 'upside down' aspect of this photo now... I would have tried to search out something a little more obvious for this challenge. Without the title, this photo would suffer. These challenge photos need to 'stand on their own' without being saved by the title.
