Along my scenic detour on See Canyon Road last weekend, I stopped for some landscape photo ops. After a few long shots of the view, I started paying more attention to a few close-by details...like this 'subtle' warning sign. Good thing I was on the right side of it:)

PP: standard RAW adjustments, some contrast tweaking, resized, sharpened, added border.

There wasn't much I could do within the parameters of this shot; crop some off the bottom to de-centre the sign, darken the background and add a frame.

With a good shallow DOF you could have left more space to the right, keeping the background blurred, to engage the viewer's imagination in regard to what they might be "keeping out" of!

A 'keep out' sign is always more interesting if we have some hint of what lies beyond it.
