Nice work to arrange the elements to get this shot. It would stand as a good shot and associated title to me, even without the challenge.
Before I saw that it was in a road sign challenge, I connected that it was a decoy to bring buildings (tall vertical things) to the opposite side of the bay. Interesting shot.
I would have cropped out the pole...mistake...maybe. The pole might just be a balance point for this shot and work as an anchor. Either way, it's good and hold my attention. I like this and admire your shot.
I don't know that I'd say this represents a road sign so much as the absence of one but I think the image itself is very striking indeed. Great composition in terms of rule of thirds height of city and cloud and pole add wonderful compositional balance as well as visual interest. Black and white works very well.
I've never seen a skyline like this. So many people can do a traditional skyline shot but this is extremely unique. I love that you did it in black and white. You couldn't have asked for the clouds to arrange themselves better for the sense of balance and composition. It's beautiful.
Fantastic photograph. One lonely pole sitting there without a sign attached , striped of everything , planted in the ground, only able to view the growing complexity of the human species across that expanse of water. And so many things this evokes, so many feelings.
Great job. Hope you win this one.
There’s humor here and sadness. WOW.
