[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We flew with Qatar airways from South Africa to India so we had a stop over in Doha for a day. I saw this pedestrian crossing sign and I loved it. So different from the normal pedestrian crossng signs I have seen in other countries, so as we were leaving I took this shot at night and it came out floating like this.

Just funny! It makes me smile...I remember I have an other funny crossing sign taken in Hungary, I should post it too!

Hi Wanda,

Peculiar image, the intensity of the colors is perfect, I like as contrast the red color on the black bottom, I believe that a format in square would be better, interesting work!

The flash has combined with the dark background to create a very graphic shot, I like it.
I'm a bit undecided as to whether I would prefer it with the lights to the left of the sign cloned out, but maybe that would have been a bit too minimalist.
Well seen, Wanda.
Cheers,
Ben

This is really a different road sign! And very funny as well. Looks like a ghost crossing point!!! Very well done.

Excellent colours and contrast.

Great and funny picture! I would have deleted the lamp on the left, to make the whole background black

I'm sure it seems normal in that country but it's very amusing to me as well. I'd probably go with a square, centered composition and clone out the lights in the background.
