| I love these kinds of shots. Great colors here. The signs seem to be a victim of their busy and cold environment. |

The irony here is great. If only there could have been someone standing there smoking, it would have really been awesome!
I like the composition of this. Because you didn't center it, the eye is drawn to the sign and are "comfortable" resting there. I also like the color tones and "style" of this shot. It is not "dpc friendly" but it does have a hip, modern, urban feeling to it.
As per your score, if it were in a "street signs" "urban life" or "irony" challenge, I suspect this would be a top scorer. Unfortunately, in a free study, the voters tend to go faster and have to be captured quickly (my opinion, of course). This does't grab you immediately, but it does hit you after a few seconds.
As far as "purpose," I think it is a pretty good commentary of society -- no matter how innocuous or "reasonable" a request is, someone, somewhere will find a way to rail against it. :)
Nice shot and best to you in future challenges.

| Pretty grungy image here. Unfortunately I feel it lacks a strong subject. Perhaps using a flash and underexposing the background just a little might help the signs to stand out. |

| Not sure what the message is in this shot. Perhaps the disregard for authority is the point? |

| Your image has a good, gritty inner city feel with the colors, dirty window and scratched out sign. I like it. |

| I am sorry to say this, but this image does nothing for me. I suppose if it were in an irony challenge then you could see something of it, but to me it lacks purpose. Again, I am sorry, and this is only my opinion and reaction to your photo. 5. |
