Here are your camera settings (exif) for this photo. Knowing them plays a huge part in your learning curve. Helps us to suggest alternate settings and helps you by knowing what they are and what they could be.

Also, ask something more specific. By posting in the critique section you're asking others to put in time and effort so you should do the same. Take a good look at your photo, study it and decide what you might like or dont like. Perhaps you may want help with composition or lighting? If so ask something along those lines!

I like abstract art, because its your chance to express your artistic side with the world.I love light painting, and just the most subjective of art. But this kind of image is out side of my area of play, but I will try and offer you something that will hopefully help you.

When I look at the image to me it looks like your trying to show contrast between the sign and the skyline. But the problem is that you shot with such a small DOF that the sky is lost. The other problem is that the sky is lost to highlights while your stop sign is lost to shadows. It may have helped to bounce just a little light in to the stop sign. The other part that kind of stands out, is the fact that you cut the sto short, you left out the P, which we all know belongs.

If you're going to post in the Critique section, let us know what you were trying to convey in your shot. Right now, I can't tell either. Is the contrast of the red sign against the sky? This isn't the typical landscape shot we get, so that makes it tougher for us to determine your intent.
