The Neon Gods They Made

Comment:
I'm not seeing any photographic elements which build on the sign itself, or show photographic creativity in laying out the shot. If we consider the neon sign to be a neon artist's work, that would make this image a direct photo of prior art, which is not permitted in the contest rules. It's a gray area, so I'm not recommending this shot for DQ, but my vote reflects the fact that while this is a technically comptetant image, it is not using observable (to me) unique interpretation, perspective, lighting, or photoediting.

I'm not crazy about the posterized effect, but its a very cool composition.

It's difficult to see how any photographic elements contributed to this work, vs. the pre-existing elements of the neon art. It looks more like a head-on shot of prior art which is technically not allowed by challenge rules. Since I don't know exactly what was done, I'm voting as though this shot was legitimate, but something to think about.

I think a horizontal format would have worked better for me - the extra room at top and bottom feel awkward. Very cool image!

Image is underexposed, blurry, and does not have a strong subject.

A biut less black area in the top would help this image for me.

I don't see any bright colors or neon in this image... Not even by a stretch do I see any relation to the theme. Very cute expresion.
