    I like this a lot. How did you get the background so dark?
    Shoot, or shoot not. There is no try.

    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. headscratch.gifrolleyes1.gif
