great capture, nice to not see another CD thanks. It's amazing that a sign that is obviously several years old still operates with all its neon intact. So if you 8 at Pete's an 8 it is

I think this would have been a better shot if you would have zoomed in to the sign more and got rid of the rest of the block and the HDR stuff. It doesn't add anything to the image.

Nice looking HDR, a kind of derelict look, and very into the subject.8

Not always a fan of selective desaturation, but it creates a strong, disturbing effect here.

Fabulous in a simple way. Lovely golden yellows and wonderful dof and bokeh.

A little stark with the grey-white background. Certainly meets the challenge, but a little devoid of that element that makes a connection - not very articulate I'm afraid.

Awesome Writeup!!!

That was VERY helpful!!!

I love how you described all the solutions you came up with for every possible problem, (especially tilting the bottle for the bubbles and removing the back label! Awesome ideas!!!) , i'm going to try to re-do this shot for fun using your instructions, i think it will be really fun!

Thanks so much! I'll post my version when it's completed =)
