I think the reason it places lower is lack of color to catch the eye. I shot it for the neon colors but decided it looked really cool in black an white- sort of a film noir look. Thanks for the encouraging comments!

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I really like the angular composition here and the overall clarity of the image. Brave to present neon in monochrome but I think your image is strong enough to carry it.

Critical stuff: Not too much really - I think I'd rather see the neon in colour but then that isn't what this image is about.

Overall: Well executed building study.

This is an interesting piece though for me it appears as if it is falling over backward. I would have enjoyed a stronger structure line that solidifies the building while the rest angle.
