Always look for color. Especially RED! It's no accident (so to speak!) that stop signs are red. Nature photographers will put a red jacket on people in their pictures to make for a more interesting picture. It's also no accident that the canoes in Lake Louise are painted red-- they know that they will appear in promotional photos and look good on the intense blue (cyan?) water.
These stop signs were stored near a police station in Ensenada, Baja California. Shooting upward gave them an interesting arrangement, and also gave a clean and contrasting background.
