I actually took this shot by accident as I was traveling down the road. The 50+ other pictures I took for my very first submission just did not "strike" me. I only took one shot of this sign late in the day. I did not even remember taking it until I started viewing all of my options.

power lines in a photo are always a detraction in my opinion. The focus could be better also. I'm not sure how this meets the challenge topic either. Was this taken at dawn of a new day? Is this a new stop sign? or is the focal point the NEW sign over the top of the stop sign? I just don't understand.......

Kind of looks like you took this out your car window as you were stopped at the new stop sign. I think it would have been a bit more visually appealing to take the photo head on, or from a bottom angle, looking up. Maybe could have been taken when the sun was a bit brighter, however, that may have cast too much reflection onto the sign and that would have been distracting. For being what looks like a spur of the moment photo, you caught the sign so it is almost exactly vertical. Good eye for that. If I would have taken it, we would have end up looking at it diagnally. Photo kind of makes me laugh. Definately depicts something new. Good luck with the challenge.

Large view of what could be a very good subject. Better framing necessary, more sign, less context.

i applaud you for finding a sign that read "new". i looked all over and couldnt find one. my suggestions are based on how i would have shot this. to me the street and all the background stuff is kind of distracting. i would have done an up close shot filling the view finder with the stop sign an d the orange sign. maybe shoot up towards the sky. you could have some nice colors with the red, orange and the blue of the sky. just my opinion.

a little fuzzy...it looks like it was taken from the other side of a car window...maybe if you had gotten in front of it and took a shot from below the sign looking up it would have been more dynamic? The power lines also distract me...

You have met the challenge by photographing a new road sign :) What this photo lacks is artistic punch. I believe that the stronger entries in these challenge combine several elements.... Meeting the challenge, artistic punch, and good composition. :) - jmsetzler
