 There are always interesting signs in the windows of this old home in Pierpont, Ohio.
The owner also runs a donation-only restaurant in her building.

Cropped.
Resized.
Saturated.
Applied a minimal amount of Gaussian Blur to entire image.

I thought the jet trail in the sky looked almost like a sign from above, too. And I'm wondering if she is calling God a "She"?

I gave this a 5. I liked the composition yet I would have liked more of the building. I think it may have put it more in context.

I know now: I like the idea of using this angle, but I don't like how it came out to be at this shot. It bothers me that the semicircular dome or whatever that thing in the rrof is, and a bit of the left window aren't showing completely in the picture.

I tried an angle, as this was suggested to me on a previous Challenge entry. It's funny how some liked the angle and some hated it. Thanks to all of you for your comments.

I find this composition to be a bit awkward, and I'm not sure if the sky inclusion adds value.

IMHO a closeup of the window, and with camera not tilted, would be much better, unless the building is actually following over as you shoot. I don't like the jet vapor trail in the sky.

Interesting building, nice colors. Probably would be better without the angle.
