This would probably make a nice poster, but it just hit me wrong when I was rating it. Pondering about it for awhile, I think it was because there was so much "busy" stuff in the bottom 2/3rds of the image which really wasn't "neon" and which seemed to act to mute what neon there was in the top 1/3. Also, I'd just seen dozens of other store fronts.

I like this. It's kind of weird and spooky but fun and cute. Freaky clown.

Took me a while to finally see the "DREAMCOAT CAFE" lettering in the lower right and in tiny lettering on top of that. Also, try to make it easier for the viewer to see the relationship between the title and the photo. I personally find that it makes a difference to me if I struggle to see the correlation between the two. Despite the reflections off the glass, it looks like this place might be called Bridgeman's but I'm guessing. Next time try using a polarizer to eliminate the reflections or try a different angle.

The reflection in the window washes out a part of the neon word, detracting a lot from the picture. Possibly shooting from another angle would have helped this.

sunlight reflection is distracting
