Something to Hide

My comments:
f/11, 1/750 sec., 200mm, ISO 800, hand held
This picture seemed to jump out at me as I was strolling around town. I struggled with whether or not to crop out the distant high-rises, but felt they added a needed sense of place and scale.... For some reason, I really am struggling with this one. I guess it's just that it doesn't really have a strong idea.

Bryan's Comments:
Two ideas for you as I also agree that the image is 'missing' something-ONe thought is to engage some kid to rollerblade, ride a bike or jog in front of this sign and then with your shutter speed set to a 1/15 second, that wall will be a wonderful color streak with the kid in focus in front of it or engage a young woman who is willing to wear a pair of dark black glasses and with her up close to you in the foreground, you focus on her placing her on the right side of the frame, smiling into the camera, whilst this 'other' woman on the background wall who is also wearing dark glasses is seen on the left side of the frame.
