What would be interesting about this subject as you shot it would be the texture of the weathered , rusty scaly metal pole. Those details are not here to appreciate as it looks fuzzy, soft, and almost digitized to the point where I'm wondering if you worked something too much in editing, or this is your intention. Also, i feel your composition should be a vertical one here as the pole is vertival and also should be off to the side a bit. right now, it feels like the subject does not fit right in the frame and it's centering slices the picture in half. Just my thoughts on it . . .
I echo what Gary and CL said. I also think the bg doesn't work for this type of shot. It needs either nothing behind it, or something more in keeping with what it is (a factory, a wall, etc.). I like CLs crop though I think I would try to skew it so that it is more vertical, and I miss that rusty edge on the right.
D makes the good point about the background, the white spots are awfully overexposed and contrasty with the sign post. An interesting shot though, though I agree with Gary about the apperance of it being processed.
