Great composition! :) I don't particularly see the sky as surroundings, but I guess that'll be the grey area here. Nicely shot, Rod. -Techo

Thanks Aammm:-)

Really good, mate, and very nice minimalist approach here.

The comment just above yours Tommy from BMurf, he said he couldn't see any background & I should be banned for posting off topic shots.................I know I know, I do get overly dramatic:-)

Losing continuity in your comments Rod. Who said the sky wasn't a valid surrounding? As far as I'm concerned, I draw the line where the surroundings are not more than the area of the sign - preferably way more. The choice of what is shown is the artist's prerogative. -tv

Thanks Lee:-)

Thanks Tommy & BM:-) This is how I cropped it in camera knowing there would be just a tad more as the viewfinder is only about 95%, so I had to crop a little bit off the bottom. I'm always in BS Artiiiiiist mode BM but I thought the sky would be the surroundings as that's how short people like me view this every day:-)

Rod- As such a stickler for topic rules, I was surprised to see this posting was yours. I believe it may be off topic. Where is the background??..... or were you just being an artiiiiist?:)

Perfect (in-camera?) framing. Naaa. Is it possible that your camera shows precisely 100%. Mine don't since the old Nikon F. Anyway, I find this very cartoony and humorous. Also, the simple form against the solid blue provides a field for visual afterimages and push-pull of the two saturated colors. -tv

Thanks RK:-) I'm not bothered by the titles as I think the picy should do all the talking & the viewers can attach their own meanings/titles.

I would call it SkyWalker...wonderful composition and colors here. - RK

Very cool. I like how you take this to the edge of the frame. Nice. -- Bruce
