great color and composition. i would like to see the left side burned in more so the beautiful hint of the building would be more visible and the sky as well. nice job!

Beautiful shot... I might have tried to move slightly to the right but still maintain focus.

love the color. Look at the rust on the bottom sign. the cracking of the concrete building, the red brick wall, the peeling of the tape on the top sign, the decay. You've shown it all, yet the window to the left of the other building looks newly painted. Well done!

Those signs have some real history to them. The agressive cropping really draws attention to them. You're image has a lot of texture and even though I'm not a fan of black and white I suspect this is an image that could look really powerful converted to black and white - There are some articles on using Photoshops "Channel Mixer" to create powerful black and white images. Your border is ok, but not really necessary in my opinion - that might change after converting to b&w though. Focus and exposure are great, except perhaps the building on the left which is a bit overexposed (not much you could do about that). Well done.

Obviously I don't understand the road signs. But they look tucked in tightly agains, and almost inside of, two walls. Appears to be a narrow street on the left, but can't really tell, because the photo is cropped so tightly. Would help if there was more photo on each side of the signs. Might could even figure out what they mean. It is a nice clear focus, with good texture. Appears to be someone or something in the window on the left. Could be an interesting photo is there were a little more of it. Good photo just needs better execution. 5

the signs are not appealing to the eyes

open up the picture more so we can get a better idea of what the signs mean

Interesting colour, nice photo

Beautiful colors. Very sharp image. Good luck.

Very well taken shot! Great color, focus, slightly odd framing. Suggestion: crop the white building out entirely, maybe rotate the photo 5 degrees counterclockwise, (I think that's legal!) 7 Swash

Not sure why I like this shot so much. I gave it an 8. I know I like the colors and the composition. Nice one.

The lighting seems off, color of the round sign seems over sauturated. focus is great, absolutley on subject.

Wow, those signs are pretty weather beaten. Nice composition I like it. That bottom sign is going to fall off soon. The bolts holding it on are nearly rusted through. This isn't in Germany by any chance is it? Great job!

Good shot, would have tried to work around powerlines to left.

Nice picture but what's special about it?
