Took a ride on our motorcycles for lunch in Bagdad, Arizona. It's missing the "H" and the people there will tell you please don't mix us up with Iraq. Company town, COPPER, Phelps Dodge.

Interesting photo. Maybe if you were closer-in or cropped a liitle closer the frame part would have stood out more but that;s me. The black and white works too.
The blown sky isn't working for me, but I like the composition very much. Perhaps a crop out of the top third, reducing the sky and emphasizing the nice curve of the road would work well. The grain is nice, particularly on the road surfaces.
