A bar in Middleton, WI, near my home. The sign refers to the Brewer's new stadium in Milwaukee, Miller Park. The title is from "The Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel.
Crop, levels, USM in lightness channel (lab color), various tweaks in curves, increase reds a bit in Hue/Saturation.

I'm not seeing any photographic elements which build on the sign itself, or show photographic creativity in laying out the shot. If we consider the neon sign to be a neon artist's work, that would make this image a direct photo of prior art, which is not permitted in the contest rules. It's a gray area, so I'm not recommending this shot for DQ, but my vote reflects the fact that while this is a technically comptetant image, it is not using observable (to me) unique interpretation, perspective, lighting, or photoediting.
