Its funny, I actually think when the picture was flipped back to how the photographer saw the scene, that it was a better composition. The road seemed unnatural in the original.

I wonder now if that is just some internal bias to it being "more real"?

I felt the same way, it suddenly felt much more correct.

I couldn't pinpoint why. I hadn't noticed the text on a sign by then.

Maybe it's because I've seen the photo before, but not corrected, but I had the opposite reaction.
