Hi!
My biggest problem with voting on the neon challenge was the lack of variety. It got a bit boring to see so many pictures of the same thing. This photo isn't bad per say, but it doesn't have anything to set it apart from the others. The reflections in the water are pretty and do make me want to find out what's making them, but the main subject just isn't interesting. I'm looking closely trying to figure out what made you want to take this picture.
Technically, exposure is good for a night shot. Focus is good although the subject is really too far away for it to matter much.
I'm not really sure how to improve the shot and give it more "wow". I'd focus more on the roof shapes and lights maybe by doing a sort of abstract shot, but most voters have a love/hate relationship with abstract so it probably wouldn't score better. Maybe taking it earlier in the evening would give the sky some color and help the buildings to stand out so that the overall picture isn't so dark. Overall, average subject that was shot well but doesn't hold the viewer's interest. |

| I think you should have cropped out the top (the building) and just had the reflections. (and boat silouettes) |
