Nice composition. Maybe a flash to bring out the sign?

CC: Great framing, good composition too. I love how the hills roll to the horizon. One thing maybe missing and common to a lot of great landscape shots is some more foreground interest. This would add to the scale and provide maybe something to rest your eye on. A small bush, and interesting rock and flower bravely facing the elements. With this in the frame, you could include more foreground, less sky ?

Another option if you are looking for a clearer shot is to consider using a polariser, which would reduce some of the atmospheric haze - although personally I like the depth it has added to your picture.

The bright sky draws my attention away from the sign.

The "title" of the picture is 50% of picture in this challenge (in my opinion), and I can't believe the TERRIBLE titles I've seen on great pictures!! :) You should have used "The Most Unpopular Stop Sign in the USA". Or "Residents Petition to Have Stop Sign Removed". You'd get a 10 with a good title, but a 7 with this title. Very nice picture, BTW. :)

These conditions are terrible!!! Are these animals able to move to higher ground? Standing in that muck can't be good for these gals...

Could not be more pleased, Dick, to see that blue ribbon for your photograph. It is such a good spoof of JS's picture, and your granddaughter really put the frosting on the cake with the boots.

This photograph is very appealing to me. I like the way the mood is evoked by the sky, and then the stop sign with all the bullet holes in it. It just looks so out of place, it's amazing! 8! -Annida
