Greetings from the Critique Club!

This photo needs quite a bit of work. As it stands it very much has a snapshot feel to it. The sign should be lit up a bit more, to draw attention to it and make the link between photo and title more apparent. Compositionally it's OK, but quite dark, and the light on the left draws attention to itself rather than the building. A much closer crop on the building may have helped a great deal.

Artistically I can get an idea of what you want to achieve. However, night shots are tricky enough as it is, and unless you have a tripod, detail will be lost. Invest in one, then you can play with the shutter and ISO a bit more. The fstop is fine. Slowing down the ISO as much as possible, and leaving the shutter way open - think along the lines of 30 seconds as opposed to 1/30, especially for a night shot - and I think you will be amazed at the difference in depth of field, detail, etc. Try a reshoot and see.

Good luck and keep shooting!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

I think this could have used some more lighting directed onto the 60 Acre Reserve sign

This is somewhat dark causing difficulty with the color. Perhaps shooting a little earlier would help.
