11

11 always seems to be a poor number. Not quite a dozen but to old to be the perfect 10.

I like everything about this image...the red digits in a frame of white, along the diagonal... But I do not agree that 11 is a "poor number." It is a number of distinction...11 is the smallest two digit prime number in base ten, a unique prime... Check wikipedia and see what a rich and interesting number it really is. :)

@Mindy: Great Tommy's ghost! I checked Wikipedia. I guess I should have researched before shooting my mouth off. 11 is a very SPECIAL number :-)
Thanks, Mindy.

I love the number 11. It happens to be one of my lucky numbers, so thank you for this shot. :)

Super composition, Michael. But I have no feeling at all about the number except that it looks nice in red here.

"One is the loneliest number..." but two ones together make "11" and then the loneliness of "1" is gone. In red against this white board and white snow, this is a masterful composition. It's great work!

Literally a 'Cool' abstract; I like the way the snow 'sandwiches' the board - the numbering makes it convenient to order off the menu! ;-)

I agree with Michael Skorulski about your photo and the number.... For me it's just a number like any other.

I love this. I don't know much about contrast. Nor about the number eleven and it's good or bad merits. I just love it. That's okay, isn't it? In fact this is one of my favorite photos. Right after that watercolor car and the tractor with the iron wheels. Good job, Michael.
