Nice angle. I like the hedge looming up into the sky, and that uneven fence lining the walk. I'd frame it so the sign was front and center - right now it is just a chenck of out of focus sidewalk. Crop some on the bottom, and you'll keep the nice lines of the sidewalk and the hedge with all the damp autums smells they imply, but gain a bit of focus (figuratively)
The smell of autumn is caused by the dead leaves, yet they don't seem to be the main subject in the picture. If you wanted the inclusion of the roadsign and hedge, could you have moved the leaves, so they would cover the street and become a more important feature in the image ?
