Post Challenge: You know..reading the comments it didn't occur to me that most of the voters took this photo as a joke..I thought it was a serious attempt at "Suburbia"..and as a photographer the humor here went over my head.
Sidenote: when I attempt humor at DPC...99% of the time it fails..so I will try to stay away from humor when the situation dictates a needed high score (Side Challenges and the such)..in a previous the Work Challenge I failed with Humor..needing to reach a low average score to perhaps win or prolong the BTA Tournament. DPC is a learning site.. I learned a big lesson here...only a few people can pull off humor in a challenge...sometimes I do it, and don't even know it...but again as i said, I will try to avoid it in the future...lol

I really like this photo. The sky holds my interest with it's shades of grays and the way it lights the sign at the bottom. I like the holes in the metal, leading the eye up to the very important message to slow down. A minor quibble might be to lighten the sign face a bit, but, it might add little to the overall composition.
Doesn't look like a slow child, does it. You have got good lighting on that without any flash glare and that wouldn't be easy with the sun behind the sign.
