This is Main Street in Winsted, Connecticut. The town is a full of pizza parlors, empty storefronts, and old factory buildings. I took this photo at dusk from the median in the road as cars whizzed by. This photo shows the movie theater (where you can eat dinner and watch a movie) and the supermarket. I used the RAW converter to play around with the exposure, hue and saturation, and clarity.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that the lights are nicely exposed and jump out at me like (neon) lights should.

Technically this is good. Exposure is almost perfect. Composition is good although we do have the light trails leading us up to the left and the bright sign pulling us up to the right - they don't fight each other too much though.

Artistically I like this. It's a shame that one while light trail got in there with those reds, it's the red's that make this shot. When you look at this you get that feeling of late at night after a few drinks with your mates, looking for somewhere to eat.

In summary I like this and during voting I said so!

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
