"Refined" Neon

Comment by JoshD:
Ah well, my first challenge entry :P

I struggled with this one, mostly because I was too focused on not just taking a picture of a neon sign, I find that taking pictures of other peoples "art" just isnt gratifying to me, I struggled to find something that had the aura of the 2nd place finisher in this contest, but came up short on time and shots :P

Better luck next time I soppose

Street light is very distracting.

I live near a lot of refineries so I can relate to this photo. Think I would have liked to have seen the left pole cropped out.

I'm not seeing any neon colors in this. I don't see a connection to the challenge. I'm not find that the selective desaturation is working hard here. It just appears bland.

This might have looked better without the street light perhaps?
