The sign needs more grounding... Try rotating the image slightly to make the sign straight.

Technically consummate. Compositionally, I yearned to see a little less sky and a little more of the building that is so undeniably "grand."

Interesting the way the sign is lit. It seems to float in front of the sky.

Ahhhhh... the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA. Wanted to take pictures there on a recent visit, but did not get a chance to and regret it now. Instead I had to suffer over at Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Pier. Fortunately I got some pictures there. :)

Nice shot, good shadows.

One of a very few that makes sense outside the challenge. Nice use of space. Beautiful flow and shadows in the building. A slight clockwise rotate would have straightened the sign. Perhaps a tad oversharpened? (9)

I like the composition of this shot. It would have been cool if the building wasn't in shadows, but I realize that the architect probably didn't take this into consideration when planning...

I like how you used a sign to your advantage. 8

I'm not fussy on this shot. I find the shadows on the building is a little to much altho I know you had no control over it. I also find that the sign looks like it was pasted in rather then being part of the picture even if it wasn't. Excelent color and clarity tho. Good luck in this challenge.
