Let's capture all those annoying intrusions into our pristine landscapes and make them the subjects or at least the prominent element(s) in outdoor photos for this challenge.
We'll define "sign" as: A board, placard, or other tangible and "permanent" medium (paper is ok) which bears a legible inscription conveying information of some kind, e.g.: street signs and advertising signs or billboards.
They should be photographed in their surroundings as they are situated and should include elements of the environment, not just the sign itself. Pls post only stand-alone images (no photo montages).
The 'challenge' will be to make the sign more interesting than its content alone by its placement within the composition and contrasted with its surroundings. Please no manipulation except for pp to crop or correct for exposure problems including resolution issues and minor transformations which do not materially add artificial or arrrtsy effects.
