Thanks to everyone. I knew this wouldn't do to well because I couldn't capture what I wanted. (I would have gave this a 3 myself.) Sign is kind of a landmark here in St. Louis, I think its been here longer than me (born here,raised here). Anyway, the eagle "flies" above the company A (fancy script w/a star on top), the lights flashing in a pattern to show two flaps of the wings (four motions per flap), then the eagle disappears and the A fills up w/ red & white lights. The white budwiser was added later and the flag after 911. I wanted to capture a few of the positions in one shot, but the lights ended up overexposed and all the details got lost.

this brings back memories.. i used to live in st louis. ive seen the neon in motion and get the point of the pic. i like the burnt white budweiser letters.. the pic is not completely straight and it throws me off a little. good job getting the wings flapping though

Yeah, I tried to take some pics of Neon out a bus window, they ended up looking really bad. Your shot is a lot better than mine, but still a bit out of focus.6

Gut retching to think that people actually drink that stuff.
As for the shot, Trees are distracting and your focus is off.
