>>>George,
While I like the interplay of shadows and an interpretation of the sign as
saying sandwiches not food there is something missing from the shot.
Possibly burning in the letters just a tad more to make them stand out more.

you see interesting juxtapositions.<<<<

Hi both George & Don,
George I get the feeling you're being suckered by colour and shadow rather 
than as a B&W photograph.

yep there's something here, What? Well like Don say's...........

George, Don is being polite. :-)  I'm sure what he should've said was...." 
It's one of those situations that "WILL DRIVE YOU ABSOLUTELY MAD TRYING TO 
MAKE AN UNDERSTANDABLE PHOTOGRAPH OUT OF IT!" ;-)

I still bet it's the colours/shadow catching your eye more than the content!
