Saw this one on the road last week. It may be hard to see in a 640 frame crop, but the 1st image is about gambling addiction. The next is the person sitting staring at the ad for a new watch. What caught my eye was the size of the ads and the direction of the faces. A lot going on and I hope some of it comes through.

Very interesting entry.
The brightness of the background is distracting from the two advertisements, though. (IMHO)
Perhaps you could have stepped just a bit to your left to line up the two signs a little more (removing some of the distance between them) and then expose more for them.
Good luck!

Hi Don,

Really interesting idea. I see the image as pointing to obsession with gambling. The first ad does catch my eye, but the second ad is just to distant and a bit dark to draw attention. I think Carrol's suggestions are good. I might add that shooting at a different time of day might have reduced the dynamic range which is very high and makes getting the shot very hard. Good luck this week.

Thanks for the suggestions, but no retakes on this one. The angle was to accommodate the person in the shadow as well, but the afternoon sun, shade from building and reflective glass may have been too much. If this WA runs long, I will likely change it.
