Greetings from the Critique Club Shirley!
First Impression: My first impression was that this looked like a snap shot, but a bit better.
Composition: I like the over all composition, but there are something that you might want to change. In the black area of the photo there are some white spots that are distracting that could have been cloned. Some similar spots can be seen on the edge of the overhang. The lighting is decent for what your were shooting. Exposure is good. If you didn't use a tripod, you have very sturdy hands. The red lettering above the marquee is also grainy and I would have liked to have seen entire name of the place the concert was held. It also appears that the light bulbs on the overhang were the focus point instead of the letters on the sign.
Subject: This subject really doesn't tell my anything about where art may have gone. I could see that it might be possible to assume that he went to a concert.
Creativity: This photo doesn't look overly creative to me. This looks like a snapshot and your comments reinforce that idea.
Improvements: To improve the photo, fix some of the things I have mentioned above. Use the clone tool in photoshop to get rid of the spots. You could also use USM to sharpen the photo a bit. You should have also tried to implement some of Art's personality into your photos like some of the other photographers did.
My Thoughts: This photo has potential, but because some of the fine details were overlooked, the image fell short.
Overall, it's an ok photo. I hope my critique has been help and informative If you have any questions please PM me.
Cheers,
Ron |

| There are a number of marks in the black which I believe could have been cloned out. The angle of the photo is good, but the subject does not really make for a good shot. The uneven lights in these signs always make it hard to get a great shot. |

| Nice pic but doesn't really have anything to do with Art R., IMO. |

| good use of lines, though think you could've cropped out most of the black on the right and tried to get the lower edge of the sign in the shot, pretty much at the corner. Good effort though. |
