[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
this photo is taken 2 years ago with my Nikon F55, it is my first attempt at photography...this is my favourite photo (less than 10 prints looks ok out of 36 shots)...

how many signs in life will we see before we know it's too late?
do we learn from others or must we fall too?
sometimes we are just too ignorant....our destiny's in our hands....
to ignore the signs and brace the conscequences,
or to look before we leap....
it's all in our hands:)

no pp work done - scanned and resized - this is a part of the old town in Johor Bahru - i tried my best to understand how to achieve DOF, and this is the best result i could get that day....tell me what u think...personally i like the distorted feeling of the aging sign.

The shot illustrates DoF really well, Eleen. A pity you didn't capture it entirely, as the top is out of the frame. IMO the lighting is excellent here. Hey, 10 out of 36, that's not too bad ;o). TFS.

I like it! I think the composition is great! I like how the chain from the sign leads the eye from left to right...just like reading a book (in English). And, applied with the note you wrote really helps to define the symobilism. A "No" sign in front followed by empty streets in the back...definitely about danger and regrets. The shallow depth of focus is good because with the background symbolizing what may come from certain actions, although forseeable, may not be what you expect...fuzzy danger. Excellent job!

bonsoir eleen
j'aime cette photo bien équilibrée, l'arrière plan un peu plus flou peut être mais c'est très bien ainsi.

good evening eleen.
I like this photo good balanced, the background a little vaguer can be but it is very well thus friendship.

Cette image me plaît beaucoup également. Ce dialogue entre les deux panneaux, l'un abîmé et l'autre perdu dans le lointain, a quelque chose de pathétique. Et ce lien qui ajoute à la tension…

This picture along with your note makes one think.. I like the sign being painted (restored) and aging. It reminds me of the the same signs we see over and over and we still ignore.. Very strong image with good DOF and composition.

This is such a good photo, much deeper than the viewer will see with the first glance as your excellent note so clearly point out....also the fact that the sign is clearly damaged adds to the overall atmosphere...EXCELLENT, Eleen my compliments!

very good DOF.. but i think the composition can be improved.. too tight on the sign... just my suggestion.. anyway.. i like the 'meanings' of this photos.. and also all ur photos.. so 'meaningful'...hahaha...happy chinese new year eleen.. gong hey fatt choy!

Very nice composition Eleen. The sign is very sharp. Excellent note also. Congratulation.

Très belle composition Eleen. L'arrière-plan flou fait ressortir avec un fort impact visuel l'avant-plan dont les détails et couleurs sont superbes. Bien vu et bien fait!
Bye, Jacques
