bargain

I've been looking at this one for a couple of minutes now and can't seem to make up my mind about it. So I guess I'll break down the points that came to me upon looking it.
I like how the "Thank you for shopping here your business is appreciated" is cut out but you still know what's written and how it takes you a few moments to realize all of the text and how the title leads you to the $4.50 off is a bargain.
The framing is good I guess I just wished that bar was straight lol.
As a whole I like it.

btw, the vertical bar can be straightened in 15 seconds.

Yes but the the bricks wouldn't be.

Everything Lee said. All of it. Literally thought the same words as I looked at the photo for a while.

The side can be straightened with some simple lens distortion control either in RAW or in PS. It takes about 8 seconds. The bar as is or fixed doesn't change the content for me. I think it is an excellent composition and a great "street" capture and as Lee has stated, it all leads to the $4.50.

"distort" not "rotate"

I'll find a link for you shortly where I demonstrated for someone else.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

In shots like this I always go with the bricks because bricklayers always keep their work level, which can't necessarily be said for window and door frames, metal grates, awnings, etc. This was taken straight on with a 50 mm so there is no actual distortion here. I'd prefer not to use perspective corrections to make something that was slanted or not square look like it was.
