Im going to hazard a guess that most of your comments will read "too small". Something near 640 pixels on one side is essential to getting a shot judged fairly, and from what I can see this shot would have done very well. Good colors, comopsiton, decent if somewhat harsh lighting, But a multitude of sins can be hidden by keeping a shot this small, and you get credit for those sins, since I can't see if they are there or not. Not fair perhaps, but it is reality.

When resizing, make sure you set one side to 640 pixels and then optimize to 150 K for the web. Let me know if you need more instructions for doing this.

Too small to really see what you've created.

I would like to see this larger using all your alloted 640 size limits. The flash is a bit distracting. I don't know if you could get the flash to reflect in the whip cream to hide the effects but it is a thought.

I think a different angle where the prison itself is in the background would improve this shot.

In my opinion:
This photo is tilted few degrees clockwise,
It's too crowded below the sign,
the sign is not in the center, nor in the third's cross..
The idea is good, you can do better with this!

i'm sure there is a story here trying to get out; maybe if shot from a different angle?

You might want to straighten this using crop in PhotoShop.

Comment by KiwiChris:
This looks a little under exposed / under saturated. Is that because you didn't want to stay long enough for a longer exposure? :-). When shooting predominantly white/light coloured surfaces you generally need to compenstage +.5 to 1 stop as the camera will read the 'average' light level to be quite high, and underexpose the shot. That might be what happened here?

This sign doesn't have much graphic appeal to be a compelling subject for a photograph. The street lgiht, fence, and outbuilding in the background just add clutter. Sorry, this is just very dull viewing for me.
