How to crop this?

[Imperialism2024]

Today I was shooting randomly and I took this shot, though I'm not entirely content with it. Any ideas on how to crop it to make it interesting?

Although take no notice a 'cropping expert' will be here in a minute to show you how it's really done!

I fear your fundamental difficulty may be that it isn't a very interesting picture (sorry )

I liked this crop though:

Oh I know it's not very interesting, but I think it might be salvagable...

Getting rid of distracting eye-catching white bits in the background and then putting the subject at a stronger angle:



Putting the sign in front of a lone tree would be more amusing though !

Start with what the photo is for and its context. What are you trying to say with the photo? That will help you decide how to edit it.

Thanks, this seems to be my favorite so far. I'm not entirely sure what I'm trying to say with the photo... my main motivation was having that sign across the street from my house for the past 10 or so years and figuring that there must be some good way to photograph it...
