A delightful set. I find the third the most entertaining.

I like #2 and #3. #1 might benefit from having the guy in the other two looking on impassively, leading into #2.  ;)

Thanks for the appreciation.

The first image is the step stone to the rest of the series (there are more images in this series) it is a warning sign for a nitrogen line under the canal. Hence the warning for the ‘boring’. I found the double meaning of the word and the symbolism of the cross (drop death boring) fun.

Motorsports, either you love them or hate them. I concede that some are boring as many other sports can be. If you don't like them is fine, but my impression (which could be wrong of course) is that the two last images are contrived.

For the fanatic, just hearing the roaring of the engines can be exciting, for others nothing will do. As in many other things in life, trying to convince each one otherwise is a waste of time.

I assume you understand the irony in the images.

Sure, the F1 boats are impressive to feel them roar.

The irony in each is rather subtle, but it really makes the series work.
