This is not a special photo. I have never done this kind of a photo before, although I like others doing such photos. I mean this weird composition.
I don't know why/how, but everything in this image; all together seized my attention and I had to shoot this one.
Do comment on this photo! I will definitely take a note of your suggestions/critique for improvement. I'll be glad to ready and reply your comments! Thanks!!!

@Ana Lúcia: Thanks Ana!
I kind of like the "weird composition". It does give an impression of driving by as Stunner said. And I like the colours.

This is your first signage picture? You have now embarked on what I'm sure will be a life-long passion that borders on and crosses over to obsession... http://signs-of-life.aminus3.com/portfolio/

@Zorilla: Oh yes, as far as i remember this is the first such photo I ever took! Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your comment!
Hello Vikram ! yes you're right this picture has something special and i like the different directions of cars movement and the dark shadow of tree cutting the publicity, town lights in the distance and two white columns in the right :finally it gives me a very good picture ,I like it ...( it's a long comment for me in english :sorry for the mistakes !!!)

@Nina: Thanks! I wanted to have that washed out effect! Thanks once again for the being so keen!
It's a very good photo; I like the dark/light contrasts and the sense of movement, and the slightly hidden written parts of the billboard, for mystery.

@Viewfinder: Exactly! Thats one thing that I liked that how the written parts are slightly hidden. I really appreciate your comment!
Color is really impressive on this shot!It could be warmer I think by processing.Nonetheless it`s still great!I like the title too!

@shahab: It was a bit more red. And that looked nice to me like that... But then I added a saturation layer to make it a little dull for washed out effect. Thanks a ton for the comment friend!

@Abhijeet: Thanks Abhijeet. I have also done some curve adjustment on this
I know exactly what you mean about how others capture images like this. I enjoy them too and feel you did very well on the composition here. It makes a statement, perfect title, excellent night shot.

@Rags: After reading your comment, I realize now, why/how I wanted to shoot this. And also makes me realize that sometimes I get so much lost in the technicalities of photography that I get digressed from what I really want to do. This I my favorite comment! Thanks a ton man!!!
Un cliché pris à la volée ? Ce sont souvent les meilleurs, comme celui-ci. L'instant fait toute l'inspiration, et l'on découvre d'autres éléments interessants de la photo plus tard, lorsqu'on la voit sur son écran. Comme ces voitures en mouvement, cette impression que le monde continue de tourner alors qu'il est figé pour cette femme piégée par l'affiche. Sympa

@pierre: Oui, je viens juste de marche environ sur une longue marche lorsque j'ai repéré. L'ensemble de la scène était telle que je n'ai pas pu résister à cette prise de vue moi-même. Et oui, après le retour à domicile quand j'ai vu cette photo, j'ai trouvé plus de sens dans les choses. Je suis heureux que vous manifesté leur intérêt pour cette image. J'aime comment vous avez mis la vie de cette femme ... Merci beaucoup un ami!
interesting composition!
