I think this is the best photo that I took this week. I also feel that it may be a weak representation of this challenge, but I elected to use it anyway. It's my favorite of everything I did this week. This is very representative of my town. What you see here is right out of the camera. The only modification is a 90 degree rotation and a resize. I expect to receive comments about the telephone poles in the bottom left. I left these here because I feel that it's more important to properly position my crossing sign than to remove the poles. I also feel that they add 'city life' to the photo.

the sun smouldering in the trees really makes this shot for me. I think that the link to city life is a little tenous but it's a beautiful shot. 7. -- magnetic9999
One thing to consider: if the picture showed only the sign adn sky, it looks like it is against a wall and casting a shadow. I thought it was a neat effect. I think you could almost crop off the bottom of the picture, because though it gives some context to the picture, I am not sure it adds anything aesthetically.
This is great. I love the color of your sky. I also like how you can still read the silhouette of the railroad crossing sign. There is some sort of brighness at the bottom which I can only guess is the setting sun obscurred by trees. This bright spot draws the eyes to it so I would have prefered that it wasn't there.
I love the sun just going behind the trees and the colors are great. I like the almost silhouetted effect and that you can still see the detail of the objects. :)
Very nice image......I love the natural gradient in the sky, the "hiding sun" and the railroad crossing sign's placement. very good. Update: reviewing all of the entries and moving your image up.
this is a real nice shot. would have maybe been great if you could have taken it a bit earlier (later maybe? not sure if this is sunset or rise) to get the sun above that try. i like how it's peaking from behind it, though. good job.
This is a good shot. I don't think it's on topic as this is more a scene you'd see in a rural area. HOWEVER....it's very nice, great color, fantastic image, could crop off some of the poles on left side as they don't add to the shot. Nice work. Kee
