Good eye for spotting these megaphones. The grouping is interesting and eye catching. While this is a pretty good shot, there's a couple of things you can do in Photoshop (or whatever program you're using) that would strengthen the image. The articles in the distance are distracing so I'd suggest cropping just enough off the top to eliminate them. You could also crop a small amount off the right to tighten up the comp. That red thing in the lower left corner is distracting--you might consider cloning it out.
I'd suggest adding some "digital polish" to boost the contrast some to make the megaphones pop--for this I usually use USM set at: Amount:30, Radius:60, Threshold:10. Try running this once, maybe twice and use the history to see how it gives the image more contrast and pop.
Hope I don't sound too harsh or nitpicky--I like the shot a lot--but I also see the potential yet to be revealed.
