Again, looking for comments especially regarding composition. Thanks for your time.

The focus seems a bit ambiguous. But my eyes are old. That sign is definitely worth photographing.

I´m going to be honest since you and me like that :D

I try and bold TRY to shoot stuff that eventually will like to see on one of my walls. This I would not frame and hang. Don`t get me wrong here...a sign my be an interesting subject under a good context....actually everything can be worth a pic but is of most importance the context....other wise lacks of interest.
Take for example the pic of the old bike you shot...is not of much interest a rusted flat tired bike by itself....you achieved a great composition with a very interesting angle and tonal range....when all of those things clash you end up with a nice pic.
You have a good eye... I might suggest to be more rough with you self....self critique is the most difficult type but IMO the most necessary.
Hope you dont consider my previous comments too harsh, all said with the best intention for you to push the limits of creativity :wink:

Not too harsh at all. The kind, knowledgeable honesty is one of the greatest attributes of this forum in general and you in particular - thanks!

It's 28.8 degrees at 9:00 this a.m., so my window of opportunity will soon close as regards the icicles. I tried to shoot this from the other direction thinking the icicles would be more prominent, but that stupid bush wouldn't strike a very pleasing pose. I thought the concept was amusing, but I really don't know how to compositionally pull it off. As it is shot now, the gutter takes center stage. Suggestions?
