A little drab, sorry. The other objects in the picture are more of the subject than the sign. It's good lighting and focus though.

This feels a bit too much of a snap shot, not planned or composed. It is nicely lit and the colors are vivid. There are just to many subjects scattered about - I don't know what to focus on - the white car? the black car? The building? The truck? Perhaps if you let the shuttere open a long time and got the blur of cars going past that would carry more of a "California" message - cars constantly going from here to there? Or made the back drop o the sign just the lovely trees and sky - a message to californians -"Stop and enjoy this lovely place you live"....

the background behind the stop sign isn't very photogenic. i would have done one of two things; either get closer to the sign or pick a spot with a more interesting background.
