Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I think this photo could be much stronger. My primary problem with this image is that the colors are flat. There is not much of interest above the sign either. Maybe a tighter crop that cuts out most of the sky and wires above the sign would improve the overall image. Once that has been done, you will be dealing with the clutter behind the sign. The buildings and the wires directly behind the sign are still going to create distraction for the viewer in this photo.

Compositionally, I believe that the dead centering of the sign doesn't really offer a strong image. I believe that making the sign a much larger part of the image would have created more impact with this photo.

The photo is a little washed out. The sign is a little too centred. jgillard6

great, nice background

Perhaps this photo is slightly underexposed... looks dark to me and the trees are difficult to see. I like the background but the powerlines are a distraction.

This sign I do not understand at all. The shape is the international shape for a stop sign, but this appears to be the name of a town. But it is a "road sign" and this is a nice photo, a little dark and soft focus but nice. Love the clouds on the mountains. Wish you could zap out the power lines. Not a bad photo at all. Worth a 6.

this shot is too dark

Lovely scenery...I wonder if the sign were off to the side of the shot it would be more effective?

Very clear shot, but a little dark (I know it's a gloomy day...) Too bad about the overhead wires, they seem to be everywhere! 6 Swash

Ok, I think I've just learnt "stop" in a different language. It looks like you were dealing with some adverse weather conditions here, which have made the photo rather dark. I think you may have included too much sky in the photo.

Is that just a Stop sign?

contrast is really low on this - very grey

This seems to be a little underexposed, plus I'm not a fan of powelines in pictures..
mhh... this is Monterrey, isn't it ?
