In San Antonio, there is a huge market of stores, restaurants, and this theater, that was developed from an old cement plant and quarry. I did some heavy adjusting of the hue/saturation & levels, which is a stretch for me because I'm kind of a photo "purist" in that I don't normally like to do a lot of unnatural things to my pictures. But for a NEON challenge -- it seemed like it fit.

Oh man. I used to love going to the Quarry! I moved to NYC from TX.
This brings back memories, thanks. Sorry I didn't see it when I could've voted on it!
This is a good subject and a good start. However, I feel like you should have waited for it to be completely dark and used a tripod to really capture a stunning shot of this building. Another suggestion is to crop out the bottom portion of the building and the trees since they add nothing of viewing interest, in my opinion. My final suggestion would be to take the shot from slightly left or right of the building to really capture the angularity of the three sections jutting out from the building. From this nearly straight on point of view, they get somewhat 'flattened' out. This might have the added benefit of eliminating the "Alamo" tower which attracts the eye away from the main subject with little reward.
