the signs are a little dark

The sign itself could use more light, but I really like the way you've framed this shot.

Nice composition... I like the angle and background clouds. The sign is a tad dark which makes it hard to read. Well done.

Bumping this up one more. Good use of the rule of thirds, the sky is very gloomy looking, good focus, well composed. Good luck

Perfect sky for this shot...would've preferred a little more light on the sign (fill flash). Still really cool.

Sharper contrast would be nice. IMHO

I've noticed a difficulty with photographing signs. Even an otherwise good photo can be detracted from by having an irrelevant sign in it. You solve this problem by making the sign difficult to read. The viewer knows it's a location sign, and that's all he needs to know.
