Yes Pops, you are right it would feel more complete with more of the road on the left. If I am going to bee honest then I have to admit that this photo was a missed shot. It was never intended to be a photo of a road sign. I hold the camera out thru a open window of a moving car, and I miscalculated the effect of the autofocus delay ending up with this sign in center of my picture. This competition gave me a reason to play with it and I found it more interesting when I cropped away the right half of it.

Everytime I look at this I have the same reaction. Because the focus & title is the speed limit sign I wish I could see more of the road on the left, it puts the sign into context. Also seeing the entire church I think would help. Of course I picture the church standing alone. It's probably crowded by buildings just off camera, which would make getting more of it and the road difficult. Great potential it just misses the mark for me.
