This is an interesting subject but you have taken the picture at an uninteresting angle. If you took it from above or below it would haved given the viewer a perspective that one does not usually get. Also, it would have made the pole more central to the picture and removed alot of the distractions in the backround.
really a nice shot...i would have scored higher but the reflection in the left side window is pretty distracting..the bright colors against the black window is very nice
Too much dead space on the right. Should have shot more of the words on the window on the left, leaving the barber pole more on the right. Although then you'd have had the big reflection on the left! :) Tought one, you would have to try to Clone it out but that might be tough.
Interesting choice of subject, nicely framed. Would be interested in seeing how it would look with a long exposure so that the rotating stripes were motion-blured.
