I can't help thinking "You have a fleet of rusting ships over there, and you've photographed the road sign - why?". The sign dominates both pictures, and the ships would be unnoticeable if you hadn't pointed them out. They must be what interests you, otherwise your email would be about the road sign, not the ships, so I have to say, I don't understand why you have taken these pictures. You need to get close to the ships, they are fascinating and could make a superb photo essay, somewhat along the lines of Salgado's famous essay about the ship scrapyards in the Bay of Bengal.
