Overgrown and underlit... Just a touch of fill light would have done wonders!

Too much shadow cast on the sign.

Egads, you have some nasty shadows.
On the plus side, nice background and a cool vine growning up the sign.

Off-centre composition would have made this more pleasing - and I feel that I should read some humour into this, but I'm not sure where.

Perhaps, if the overgrowth/delapidation is the emphasis here, then you should have taken it closer up, viewed from the ground, and lost the distracting context of lake and houses.

Not bad, but IMHO there ist some space for improvement too. It could have been more interesting with an off-centered position of the roadsign. By using another aparture (e.g. F 2.0), the background could have been more unsharp and less distracting. Nevertheless good luck for the challenge!

Great idea but the shadows are more distracting than artistic, I think.

Fill flash would have helped here to see the sign better

different composition, better lighting situation, would make this a very interesting photo. I like how the plants are taking over the sign.

I guess you are using the shadow to accentuate the vines growing on the sign. Not sure if it would work better with more sunlight.

Shadows on sign make it difficult to read, but interesting.

to many shadows on the sign, makes it dark and hard to see.
