In Philadlephia there is a street that has been renamed for a length of 6 blocks and called "Avenue of the Arts." There are 2 art schools, theaters, a new music center and this bank opened about 1 year ago.

The 'ARTS' is way too center. I would have cropped closer to the building. Only one building, missing the 'photo of buildings' part of the challenge.
Oooh, I like the contrasts of the red in the sky. I'm not sure if it was done on purpose or not, but I like how you've left the area behind the free of clouds to stand out more. I was going to suggest that a shot more to the left would have captured the "A" a little better but then I realized that would have brought in the clouds. Well done.
It's a good picture, a little small though. You could have probably put the sign in the top-left third and captured more of the building. That's just a personal opinion though. Maybe you would have lost the clouds though.
A very clear and sharp image but lacking anything that would really grab my attention and hold it. I'm thnking that maybe if the ARTS sign was not as centered and more of the building was showcased I would like this much better. Raising my original score but only by a few points.
Was thsi taken through a window? There are strange reflections to the right of the sign which detract from the great sky. The contrast of the sign and building is good, but most of the sign is in shadow so you lose a lot of the color. The building could probably be straightened up a little as well.
