Havana Street Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is just an average street sign in old Havana. I was struck by how much work went into the preservation and thoughtful beautification of the urban environment there...

Beautiful and simple. I wish I'd thought of that.

Nice shot! I really like detail shots like this one... I do have some thoughts though on how I'd improve it if it were one of mine - firstly there's a slight colour cast, and secondly there's some marginal distortion in the image - both are correctable in Photoshop. Well captured :-)

I've posted you a Workshop to show what I'd do, I hope you like it!

great idea, i love street signs, they do give personality to a city... and most big cities have lost the human touch when planning street signs.
I loved the workshop done by AdrianW as well...

Nice detail and cropping, I have seen similar signs in Spain well spotted.
