Comment by PTLParsons:
Too dark and not a very clear focus. The red doesn't look authenic. The cropping being just a hair off center is distracting - either centered or more off center would have been better. This is my favorite drink and I have one right now. That's how I knew it color was off, for sure. And these are just my personal opinions.

needs to be sharper... if your camera has a macro function you should use it... if not, you can take a magnifing glass and hold it near your lens to sharpen things up a bit...

Good idea. Perhaps a little more light on the can and it seems a bit out of focus....

Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) � Very good composition. Placement of the sign and inclusion of the road is very good. A little more road would not hurt, in my opinion. My only complaint is the large branch that cuts the sign along the diagonal and the lower leaves. I would like to see them removed.
(2) BACKGROUND � Good. Nice color balance to the sign.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL � Very good. Everything in focus.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL � Looks quite good; no recommendations. Color works best here. In b&w you would lose the moss on the sign.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO � I love subjects like this. A very nice photo of an historic road sign. However, I think you might go from very nice to excellent if the sign had the (distracting) branches and lower leaves cleaned away. The branches on the sides and on the ground in front as well as the �dirty white� would still give the age you want to show. To do this properly, you should probably do it in multiple steps, taking photographs along the way. Then choose the one that "looks right".
