My first challenge. Overall I am happy with the results. My main focus was to capture the spirit of the challenge, more so than produce a technically and photographically noteworthy submission. I realize all aspects affect the votes and opinions though, and will strive to improve for future challenges.
Now, in answer to the questions, the car lights on indicate someone coming back to the Rose (revisited :) )... I like the subdued surroundings of the sign, since many parts of society insist men sneak around to visit strip clubs... just an instantaneous thought in determining my subject, and the rest is part of snap decision to take a "snap-shot".............
Nice colors, in focus. I actually think this would have made a wonderful geometric abstract by zooming into one or more letters (probably around the lady) of this pretty sign. Sort of what the person did with Toys R Us. I find the current composition less compelling; I am not sure why the car is included, with the headlights, at least in terms of artistic presentation.
The POV might have been just a little stronger from inside the building. I know that is generally not the case in photographic theory, but thins case....
Kidding aside, this is exceptionally well exposed. 8 for now.
Nice design, but I'd give a lot of the credit to the guy that designed the sign. The car is nicely placed as an element in the commposition, and the pciture is nicely done, though.
