 This is the infamous Geno's Steaks in Philadelphia. They are rivals to Pat's Steaks which is across the intersection. Gino's is the flashier, but Pat's is the tastier.

This shot came out pretty much as I planned it. The alternative shot I was planning, didn't happen since I got out to shoot too late.

Editing: (RAW: Exposure; PSE: Clone, Dodge/Burn, Levels, Contrast, USM)

Nice work. You really captured a feel about the place. Very nice exposure, you kept good detail in the dinner windows.

A number of these would do well in the Neon challenge. Nice shot though with the brake lights streaking. 7.

As being someone who lives here, I think this image lacks the amount of people that normally attend. I guess Id like to see the line of people in the street like normal. , also, the color seems a little off.

I had the pleasure of enjoying a cheesesteak there this summer -- and it was definitely the best I've ever had! I'll have to try Pat's next time.

Good shot but I think it should have been cropped a little more. 6
