Very interesting shot. I loke the crop you did. Simple in the fact you see this in everyday life. I like how the two signs are the same, but different textures/abuse at the same time.
I thought this was a great find for this challenge and gave you an 8 during voting. I wish I would have gone back and bumped up ... cuz I think it merited a bump.
Nice choice to compose this so tight and centered- it forces the comparison and the doubling aspect. I like the textural detail and the bits of rusty color. But in the end, it is not such an engrossing subject.
Nice capture - Love the composition. I feel if you could have made both sides equal in exposure this would have helped as too maybe a bit of added interest in the way of a finger or hand pointing in between the arrows?
