Close up on the grit side without the back would have worked much better for me. The colors could have worked very well, but my eye keeps returning to 'read' about texture instead of seeing it. But that's just me :)

Good idea, but the execution is very poor. Dump the App Guide, and just do the paper under an oblique light to catch shadow and sparkle in the grain.

Comment by GeneralE:
The quotation I should have referenced more directly is "East is East and West is West and the twain shall never meet."
I later figured out I should have titled it either "The Twain Meet Here" or "Twain Station." I'd also had an idea to add on a hand-lettered sign reading "Welcome Tourists!" but fogot to take the materials with me for that. If we were allowed non-standard crops I would have taken off the bottoms of the highway number signs, but I guess I was trying to "disguise" the actual location -- maybe I should have just included the whole sign.

Sorry, not getting the joke. This looks like it could use a little sharpening to bring out a crisp focus. The bottoms of the two interstate signs at the top of the screen are distracting. Since I don't get the joke, I'm hesitant to suggest any alternative crops.

I don't like when pictures need a name to give them meaning, the whole point of photograpy is visual expression.

?? (about the title)
Nice light, but why the top signs are not included or totally excluded?

Guess I need to read Kipling to figure this one out.
