 I was driving in a fog shrouded mountain community with my point-and-shoot, turned on, between my legs knowing that somewhere hiding in this fog was a picture. It was raining and so foggy that i had a hard time just driving let alone looking for a great shot. I stopped at a stop sign in toptown Crestline and there was this banner. I rolled my window down and took this shot.

The original was very low contrast, low color, low detail. I cropped, added noise, played with levels and contrast and color balance, until I liked it.

This does not hold my attention. Maybe a different angle and less overflown sky would be better.
