Nice subject and nice colours too. It looks like one of those places you always saw in the cartoon "The Jetsons" :)

Great colors - love that blue sky and the neon. 100VS is one of my favorite films for this type of work. Nic composition, and good use of spot metering.

This shot is making me hungry. It's the kind of picture that makes me wish it were easier to clear people and cars and other detritus out of our foregrounds, though.

Hmmm. I'm wondering when this was built since I can't recall seeing it before. I used to drive through Hyde Park every so often when I lived in Woodstock , NY from 1975-1985. Maybe it never caught my attention since I never saw it at night and so attractively displayed. Nice job.

I like it. It has a classic look, like Edward Hopper's Nighhawks. See http://metalab.unc.edu/wm/paint/auth/hopper/

Nice picture in wich there is a good balance in the intensities of neon-light, interior lighting and remaining daylight. Well done.
