 Close to 2 a.m. on Rodeo Drive, here in Beverly Hills. It's odd feeling wandering around the streets, j-walking, setting up your tripod in the middle of the street, the occaisional passer-by slowing down and wondering why in the world someone would be shooting photos alone in the middle of the night on a Monday. I only managed to take a handful of photos before my D70 died! Yead, she's history Read this for Info. Part of the problem affected metering so I lost the shot I really wanted to post (too much noise when I tried fixing it in PS).

Photoshop work was just crop, curves, slight saturation boost, add boarder.

Nice night shot. Is the light on a diagnal coming from a street light or spot?

border and the fact it looks as if its not lined up correctly has put me off this,,, pity as its a good subject matter for the theme.... maybe a closer shot of the trademark name might have been better...

I like the coloring. Good composition - the tall pillars help give the sense of excessiveness. A little dark toward the name on top.
