Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I particularly like the crosswalk sign in this image. It's off-center composition seems to work really well. I also consider that sign to be the 'subject' of this shot. That being the case, the 'no standing or parking' sign seems to be creating a minor problem for me. It is catching some light from somewhere that is making it much brighter than your 'subject' sign. I'm not sure if these two signs are supposed to be related in some way... I can't see it though.

Unfortunately, I believe that the banner behind the crossing sign is also somewhat distracting from the composition as well. I can't really offer any suggestions for improvement on this image. Not knowing the environment, I would not want to try to suggest different angles. There is probably a lot of clutter looking from other perspectives on this sign...

I find the sign behind it a bit distracting. Don't know if you could have changed your angle slightly to avoid it??

Too bad you couldn't angle it so the no parking sign was out of the pic.

just one too many signs in the shot.

The sign itself is very funny, but I can't say I completely agree with your composition - the sign is just off center, and the banner is distracting.
