The Words Dont Fit The Picture

[mcopan]

I was walking around down town and came across this display out front of the Vancouver Public Library. Please let me know how I can improve please.

Cool sign!!
When there are words in the picture, the shot is usually about the words...so If it were mine I'd take the humourous approach and crop just a bit into the words so that it literally does not fit the picture.
I'd also burn in the top part and up the contrast overall. Just my 2 cents - Hope that helps - Marko

Marko - Thanks for the thoughts. I have re-cropped the photos (below). Where can I find the legendary Marko's Podcasts?

I think I would crop on the right side as well. That building is a distraction.

If I cropped the right side I think that I would lose the feel of the building to which this display is located. The Library in the background has been used for a couple movies including an Arnold Swareneger film.
