Initial thoughts
An intriguing location that no doubt has an interesting history.

Composition/ Content
This image is reminiscent of the glamour days of Hollywood movies when sensational men and women lived life to the full! Wouldn’t it be interesting to spend an evening here?

Compositionally, I like the corner viewpoint placing the neon sign and the strong vertical pillar on a third. But the horizontal line of that sign/ frontage seems to split the image in half rather strangely.

I find myself drawn more to the details above the sign than below but they are too shrouded in darkness to make out well.

Any negatives?
I usually quite like high contrast images but I the shadows in this image are slightly too extensive and hide much detail that might be of interest.

My Opinion On The Photo
An interesting subject matter and reasonably strong composition and good choice of duotone colour too. Overall though, it’s not one of those images I feel I want to return to again and again as the subject matter is just not interesting enough.

Honestly I like the background more than your subject. DOF is too tight, most of the things are blurry :/
