Andrew, that edge of the painted building is just where I arbitrarily cut off the hardboard that the experimental painting was done on. I will need to do something with that, like stopping it behind the sign. Then I could make the painted tree a bit broader, hanging out over the roadway just a little. also like your suggestion of moving the sign back - would take just a bit of reworking of the curb I put there. I could also move the sign just a bit to the left.
On the subject of tree, there is actually a small model tree planted within the yellow curb right beside the sign. It blended into the background on the other photos. Another thought I just had would be to move the sign closer to the front of the layout and put a "half-tree" behind it, right against the backdrop. From a technical standpoint, that would block the sign from any LBPs that were viewing from the backdrop side, so the bank folks probably would lose the advertisement value of the sign.
Here's a view from above.
