Cool processing certainly does fit. Very well done.

Great color. I also like the alternative possible reading of the sign: "dozen" or "do zen" . . .

Love this shot! Love the strong reds and blues. This sort of sign is a cliche image of the US to us over in England - I read somewhere that they are geting increasingly harder to find though, is that true?

@drphoto: thanks drphoto:)...yes..these signs are getting harder to find (this is the only one in my town...that i know of)...it's a shame...they are such classic americana design...
@Alun Lambert: thanks Alun:)

Great image. Love the processing. How does Lightroom compare to CS3, or do you know? I've been mostly using Nikon Capture NX and PSE5. I'm wondering, if I was to spring for one --LR or CS3-- if LR would be a big step up for less money?

@Twelvebit: thanks twelvebit:)...i'm not an expert, but if you're buying just one...then i would go with CS3...i use LR for basic tweeks with RAW format...then export to CS3 for final processing. CS3 does a better job of resizing for the web (less noise)...and other in depth processing (filters, etc)....but i do like the LR interface...more intuitive...hope that helps:)...i'm not familiar with NX and briefly used PSE...so i can't really tell you how big a difference it would be...i think though there are trial versions of each.
yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, Greece

From the sound of it Capture NX is similar in function to LR. It has a feature Nikon calls "control points" that are very quick substitutes for a lot of things that would otherwise require masking, and that is what I use it for the most. If I want to do anything more like cloning or using layers I have to go to Photoshop.

@Twelvebit: cs3 is deep...i think i only use about 10% of all the features....can't wait to see what you do with it... try to pick up a book or 2 on PS techniques...there are lots of free online tutorials and podcasts too...take care:)
Melissa W. from Warsaw, Indiana, United States
Will, you have really outdone yourself here. Classic. Love the colors and contrast. You've managed to capture two things that I love: old signs and Krispy Kreme. Oh how I love their glazed doughnuts especially when they're still warm...
