I don't know of any 'real' neon in my area so I started thinkin about 'creating' my own. I started by making a couple of paper fans. I arranged them in what I thought was a pleasing manner. Then I taped a green filter on my Alien Bee and a blue filter on my Sigma flash gun mounted on a stand. I turned the Bee way down, the Sigma way up, and took a shot. Hey, that looks cool! Then I brought the RAW file into photoshop. I cropped the image and then played with levels. Reduced the noise and then decided to crop the image again and I rotated it 90 degrees because I liked it better that way. Course, then I had to enlarge. Satisfied, I saved for web and uploaded to DPC. Hope ya'll like it!

Well I gave you a 10. I'm surprised this wasn't in the top 5 at least. Really felt the voting was way off. If I could score the scoring for the Neon challenge - I'd give a 4. I cannot believe some of the photos that made the top 20!
I found your photo well composed,well organized, unique, and an original entry for the theme and I liked the colours used.
Oragami? Not sure what the original material is, but the abstract image is really attractive and sort of relaxing. Colors complement nicely and I like the black recesses for contrast. Gives your eyes some lines to follow and isn't really busy or "in your face" like lots of other images.
