So I had posted the CC Leaves topic and got some suggestions on how to better that type of image. That was taken in Dallas so I couldn't re shoot that exact composition but I used the same format to shoot this stop sign, I think it is much better in terms of contrast and color. Let me know what you guys think.

It's a stop sign. Rather boring IMO. I don't find it interesting at all.

Now if you did something kinda graphic with it using primary colors like the red sign against a dark blue sky as the background (no clutter just the blue sky) with the right crop maybe?

The composition meets the fundamental guidelines on positioning of the subject of interest - namely, it is more or less at the golden mean in the left-right direction. One thing at a time - you're getting there!
