I so feel for you! I was basically trying to go the retro way too, and was unceremoniously slammed for it! :D Hey, you did better than me though! Nice work, love it :)
I really loved this one! I love the interest you added by using that angle! It's hard to make a photo of a sign interesting, but I think you really pulled it off. I really think this photo deserves a much higher score than it got!
Nice shot. I think the angle put a lot off this - it would have me if I had voted. If it had been level I think it would have made a great "L" shape with the pillars of neon at the left and then gradually falling away as you look along the roofline. The rule of thirds at it's best?
I like to see some thinking to do something different so don't be discouraged.
