Photoshop could have so dramatically improved this photo on so many levels. Overall it's very soft, and the color saturation and exposure just seem to be off. PM me if you're interested in seeing the improvements that could be made to it.

Really interesting image. This was really refreshing after looking at all the lemon and flower shots! Thanks!!! More focus is all this needs to be a real winner! Maybe a little less sky at the top?

with a little help from annida:
I like the idea of this picture very much. The subject is appealing, and definitely fits the challenge of square. What I think you could have done to improve the composition was to a) either put a fabric behind the frame, so it's not on the tile, or b) cropped the picture so that it was actually around the frame, which would result with a square photo as well. I think a bit more lighting on the subject would have been good as well. Maybe you could have tried a duotone, since the colouring is almost there already, and made the contrast more, with some sharpening and use of curves. I think this is a very good attempt, and I hope to see more from you in the future!

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I think this photo could be much stronger. My primary problem with this image is that the colors are flat. There is not much of interest above the sign either. Maybe a tighter crop that cuts out most of the sky and wires above the sign would improve the overall image. Once that has been done, you will be dealing with the clutter behind the sign. The buildings and the wires directly behind the sign are still going to create distraction for the viewer in this photo.

Compositionally, I believe that the dead centering of the sign doesn't really offer a strong image. I believe that making the sign a much larger part of the image would have created more impact with this photo.
