"The red in the sign grabs your eye. Having the sign off-center also grabs your attention because you want to see what is behind it."
"If the sign was a little more in-focus, I could see this
as something that might sell as a stock photo. To me, that makes it powerful, because it is diverse and well-balanced and portrays a very clear message."

"I've casting my vote for "Harley Power" -- I think there's a little visual ambiguity that I enjoy when the motor heads start to look like conjoined heads with abstract faces.(Are those snorkels in their mouths? Cool!)"
