I really like this shot: great color contrasts. I wish that it had been cropped so that less sky was showing. Perhaps you could have adjusted where you were standing, to get a different angle, maybe looking down a bit more. There's a lot of potential in this shot, and it might be worth going out to the site again and taking a lot more shots.
I kind of like your processing. Makes it stand out. I would have scored it a little higher if there wasn't that arch of light on and to the left of the sign.
