Sorry, AntZ, I didn't mean to take away from your shot. I was just trying to illustrate the point. There's nothing really technically wrong with the shot as far as I can see. The subject just isn't interesting or meaningful to me.

If there was something in the photo to add some context to the sign it might work better. For example if there was a Fed Ex truck with "Speedy service" written on it and it had crashed into the sign then there would be more context. The sign, in and of itself, is just not interesting to me.
