One comment if you’ll accept it in good spirit: the cinematic framing ratio encourages the viewer to read it linearly (normally left to right) BUT the objects might be read differently as your eyes move around. I might play with the framing. Also this could be interesting in BW? Something to play with here.
Always fun to play with the framing, but this version seems very successful to me.

My experience in looking at it was that my eye was drawn first to the big Stater Bros sign, then moved left to see the colors and the verticals of the various posts, then noted the puckish inclusion of the garbage can at the lower right. Black and white could be interesting, but I really like the color contrasts and variety, especially the blue reflection on the back of the Stop sign.
Chuffed to bits, this sight presented itself before I was even able to process what I was seeing. The neon SB sign 'superimposed' over all these vertical shapes, and I just counted 15 pillars if you chuck-in the tree on the far left....
I just realized I posted this picture in TO instead of Photography. If a moderator wants to move the thread you're more than welcome to - outcome of interneting at 4 in the morning....
