I just picked up my Nikon gear (switched from Pentax) and took a few shots around the local area, my favourite is posted here:

Welcome to the forums :)

For this shot, perhaps a shallower DOF or sharper viewing angle of the sign would have improved it..Just a thought.

Yeah, I've been a member, lurking around since Oct, 2005, but only recently decided to post :p

By a sharper viewing angle, you mean, less front on? More to the side or top or bottom perhaps?

Yeah...perhaps you could have knelt down and gotten all of the graffiti in for example. And the reason why I suggested shallower DOF is because the sign leads your eye to the background which doesn't have much in it.

(Disclaimer: I'm no expert!)
