BCW,
you have to make photographs. That means finding ways to remove distracting elements, and choosing what part of the subject you wish to emphasize. Now, these kinds of shots appeal to me because I like when photographers shoot ordinary objects and turn them into artwork. Any idiot can produce a good photograph of a beautiful subject, especially since most cameras these days will do everything short of have sex with you.
Do you ever spend time analyzing your own photos? Ever ask yourself why you like a particular photo? You should if you don't. You'll improve faster.
I think this photo doesn't work because it is one-dimensional. This stop sign / gate is a good stage for a photograph, but it needs more. How great would it be if you had people riding bicycles, running, and maybe jumping in the background? Shot with 1/500 shutter, the action would be froze, and this stop sign would be a part of a more interesting photograph.
