Description (Originally just called 'Left' .... but something about the '2' on the end appeals to me. It looks right that way, to me)

This pole was so damn attractive in my eyes. My camera lens was drawn to it like two magnets, just meant to be together.

The glorious orange colour, the symbol of the arrow, the textures and patterns of the torn sticker, the interesting shapes and lines created from the wear and tear, the cool steel and the underlying flecks of green - it was all just too perfect.

Some things make me so happy.

...guess we have the same taste when it comes to urban decay. You described so well the beauty of this photo, there's nothing left for me to say. right away...

I wish it were larger, and even though your colors are vivid... it feels washed out for some reason. The right side of the pole is a bit too open when compared to the left side, too.

Good stuff, overall though.

the texture of urban decay (or erosion) is beautifully captured... the clarity of the photograph allows me to examine the details of the texture... i agree that the orange/yellow is particularly effective... it and your camera, perhaps, are mutually attracted
