This /is/ a great shot. The sign looks so forlorn, an almost ominous, ya' know? I like it lots. ;D

Really makes you believe the sign.
Great contrasts.
Did you take any horizontal in wide angle as well or just this one? (not trying to take away from this one - its fantastic, i'm just wondering if theres more)

i got a few verticals, and a few horizontals. but i wanted the sign on the right side of the photo, and so if i were to have included more of the stuff on the left side, it would have been a house that wouldn't have fit in with the rest of the photo. thus i went vertical.
thank you for commenting and

Nice one, Isaac. Thought it may well have been in Oz before I checked where you're from; the scenery is very similar in parts! I think this could really work well in black and white, or even better, sepia. Just to convey a little more of an aged and withered feel...

i tried black and white, but it didn't work near as well as i thought it would.

Love this... the angle of the sign makes the photo brilliant.

The color of the sky contrasted with the color of the sign is wonderful.

Oh wow excellent job! I really like the sign and the barb wire there to. Gives me that country feeling.

yes indeed, i contemplated that, it would definitely fit into that category, but i think that, since it also depicts a landscape behind it, that i would classify it under landscape

wonderful tonal range, especially given that it has no post-edit.

I definitely appreciate it... because I know the amount of work that goes into making a great image, both at the camera and often later

Ditto what everyone has said. The sky is an eerily perfect blue

god, i LOVE the sky! the bushes look a little flat perhaps, but this is totally killer.

Definitely resonates the sign and it's surroundings. You should be very proud of this one.
