This image is quite interesting as it gives some idea as to how the small-town English people may enjoy their weekends. Personally, I am very much attached to pubs in London - but alas I have not been anywhere else in UK ...
Pub is a pub and the intitution is by all means respectable and generally appreciated LOL
I like this shot.

I certainly agree with the concept, and you've captured the proximity of the two elements on either side of the road. But I think the road takes up too much of the image, and leads us past the points of interest rather than towards them. There are some aspects of the picture which repay a closer look, but they're not immediately obvious, particularly from the thumbnail.

I agree with Si, there is too much road and the green object at the left is quite distracting.
