As I continued to contemplate the view, I found that the sign, pole and numeral formed a “visual anchor""¯ that solidified the composition. Cameras and lenses have limits, so I had to take two exposures -- one to get the sign in focus and a second to get the background in focus. Later, I blended the two together so everything from close to distant would be sharp.
