		| | Greetings from the Critique Club! 
 I like the angle you shot the sign from, you filled the frame, and it is a truncated sign so it fits the challenge, and it's that universal shade of red so everyone knows it's a stop sign.  It has great detail with all those little microreflectors in the surface.  So why didn't this do better?
 
 Honestly I feel that the main problem is that there is a lot of noise visible, mostly to the left of the image.  Using denoise and then sharpening is a very tricky thing to do well, because the sharpening essentially brings back the noise you tried to get rid of!
 
 Hope this helps
 
 Susan
