Thank you for the comments. I think they will be very helpful. I did get in a big hurry to get it submitted -- even though I still had plenty of time. I did have a much better shot, but I forgot to turn off the date stamp and couldn't get rid of it! I am just learning Adobe Photoshop so I'm not very good at the editing yet, but with all the help available on this site I can only hope to get better. Thanks again the helpful comments!

from the Critique Club:
In this picture you presented a few ideas but failed to realize their full fruition. Of course, it is very easy for me to sit back with coffee cup in hand and make these observation. First, the sign ate up too much of the visible image. Of course, a sign can be the sole purpose of an image but in such case great care is given so that the background area compliments it. Smaller would have been better in this case. Second, there is an interesting interplay regarding image and canvas. This effect was left hanging. Again, we are left with a sign and as the eye moves around is distracted by the tilt and a yellow item whose identity is beyond the viewers comprehension.
I think you had a very good idea here, but you did not give it enough thought. The sign robbed the earth and sky completely and the tilt added more question. My suggestion is to rethink this picture all over again. Re-do it, if only to prove that you did have a concept and perhaps because of time pressure or whatever, you failed to realize
your goal. dan

| why do it look like the photo was scanned in? And that little yellow dot, what the hell is that? Out of focus. Odd looking! 3 |

| It's a bit tilted. :) I do like the idea, and it's good for this challenge. |

| This looks like way too much unsharp mask was used, the bright halos around the letters is very distracting. |

| shows choices, but to me doesn't capture the essence of a daily choice. Rather lacks creativity |

| I think you should crop the off-center white borders and straiten them out. Also the tiny yellow dot in the bottom right corner is distracting 4 |
