 * Comment - I find the partial traffic sign a bit distracting; I'm betting on "No Parking" when I should be concentrating on the costume. (It is "No Parking", right?) Belle (talk) 23:52, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a no right turn sign. This show was done in the middle of the street (one of the city's main ones) during a car-free day. That has its own EV right there; these celebrations aren't hidden at all. You hear stories of families celebrating Chinese New Year behind closed doors, but this is open and filled with people. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:09, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Cropping off the traffic sign greatly improves the image IMO. 81.132.196.225 (talk) 00:54, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Way too close a crop. Furthermore, that would lose the evidence of just how open/public the event was. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you crop it so we can see the whole traffic sign and some spectators etc. Or does that look (technical term coming up; look away if you are not au fait with photo-editing jargon) "crappy"? Belle (talk) 01:12, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I was using 160mm effective length; there was barely anything to crop (only some pavement in front of her feet). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:25, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * In my view the information value of the traffic sign is negligible, while the negative distraction effect is considerable. 81.132.196.225 (talk) 01:23, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Then, again, we must agree to disagree. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:25, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
