Critique Losing the Enemy...

[Bend The Light]

In wartime, it was common practise to alter, deface, or even remove direction signs. Local people would know their way around, but the enemy would not.
Here is a collection of removed signs which I thought made a nice picture.

What do you think?

I do like the processing on this and it is an interesting story behind the shot, but it is rather busy and lacking a focal point. I also like the light and the shadows in the shot, overall a very nice capture.

Thanks. Isn't the busy-ness of the shot the idea, though? It is a collection of road signs that have been removed and piled up...I would have thought that would be "busy". I do sort of see what you are saying, but thinking that if it were less busy it wouldn't show what was intended?

Thanks for the critique.
