Didn't notice the "help" until I was reading Barry's comment. Doh! Curse me for a speed voter.

I see a lot of compression artifacts around the red letters, but your file size is already at the challenge limit, so I don't know why it is so bad. You should not have had to use a lot of compression for this image, and the file size indicates you didn't. (I'm a little anal about JPEG compression!)

I love the help at the bottom, but your DOF should be lower for this image.

Ha! I like this a lot. The lines and the composition are really interesting, and the little red "Help" down at the bottom is funny too.
