I like this a lot. How did you get the background so dark?

Perfect, when I saw the challenge title I immediately thought of a neon sign and this is really creative Great job.

Good job zooming on this.
I've done quite a few neon shots in the past using this zoom technique.
It's difficult to make a zoom shot like this look good and not get into heavy PP.

Nice shot. Not to mention your jumped out of the gate at a furious pace!

Good luck on the competition.

Thanks alot for comments everyone! I was excited about the challenge so I rushed right out after I got home from work. I was amazed at the lack of NEON in this town, atleast for signs anyway. This was the only sign I could find that had more than 1 or 2 colors. And there wasnt much to choose from that even had only one color, so I tried to make the best of this one. I can just imagine what people were thinking as they walked into the grocery store at the other end of parking lot, and seeing me with my tripod and camera.
