some of us like the rustic aspect of the sign in comparison to the neon

I like the textures and the sense of a worn-out city neighborhood. The background is too brightly lit; it prevents the neon from standing out. Dropping the brightness with curves or levels and upping the contrast would make this a very effective shot.

You have a unique submission, simple and a kinda "old-fashioned" appeal. Although it's well done for this particular challenge (neon) - what would the average non-DPC user say?

Technically - from the DPC viewpoint - it would score MUCH higher if the sign colors were vibrantly red and shouted neon!

The composition is good, background adds the 60's look.

I like the 'grit' of the city you capture in this image. The angle is very nice as well. You chose a good time to go and shoot this neon sign. I am fairly sure this wouldn't have had the same impact on me if shot at night.

More once "open" sign.

Urban feel with a sense of Mom & Pop kinda' place.
Interesting composition - many angles & intersections. Not sure if it helps or distracts.
Possibly a tad over exposed?

I think the neon sign pictures have been done to death; however, this one is exceptional. The details tell me something about the place advertised by the sign. It is more than just the sign. Good Job.

Awesome feel to this old sign! I love the old brick against the metal. badly needing paint is a good thing. Nice entry! 9
