George said 574 days ago:

By George! I think I recognize the guy with the Canon! King, I dig it :-) You might recognize an upcoming sister image...

King said 574 days ago:

I see the good folk in Southern California are starting to rise and shine. I'm hoping you get a featured image in more ways than one.

But you're not thinking of posting *that* photo of *me*, are you? Heaven forbid!

Took me a few seconds to spot the relevance to the theme, but when I did, I liked! Excellent use of perspective and framing, really interesting shot, and great sky!

duncmc said 574 days ago:

A strong image. I like the dramatic viewpoint. I feel the image is more about the guy and the signpost than the sign itself, so not so high on relevance.

King said 574 days ago:

...but duncmc, "This theme should be open to all interpretations of the word "sign".

This entire photo could be a sign, such as "Caution--Photographer at Work."

Here's another good example of a photograph that fulfills the theme with no "signs" in sight:

http://www.weeklyshot.org/theme/signs/response/46/

Photos I haven't posted yet:
Two deaf people speaking in sign language.
Tea leaves at the bottom of a cup.
Bones dug up by the soothseer.
A rainbow following a flood.
A doctor and patient looking with intensity and concern at an x-ray negative.
That look she gives me that tells me that she loves me.

W.S. folks, in general, are so literal when it comes to Relevance ratings.

George said 574 days ago:

King, I hadn't considered *that* photo probably because the version I worked didn't immediately bring this theme to mind. But now that you mention it... (Oh and, yes, a featured image in more ways than one would be very fun :-)

I dig all these "signs" you've listed and want to do them all but - dammit! - there just ain't enough hours in the damn day! Dammit!!

King said 574 days ago:

George, you didn't work hard enough to get this image featured, so it's all your fault.

* Relevance: 2.80
* Impact: 3.14
* Composition: 3.23
* Technique: 3.31
* Quality: 3.38
* Overall: 3.172

George said 574 days ago:

King, you FB, you. Although I rated this HIGH across the board I take full responsibility. In the meantime, keep an eye out for another not-to-be-featured sister image. And I'll share my ratings when I get them. Oooh! Isn't this fun!!!
