I like this series. You've done a good job with the cars and the smaller lights. Unfortunately, there is little you can do with the large motel sign, which pretty much blows the top off the histogram. This is generally a problem in night photography; there is such a wide dynamic range that it's really difficult to get a good balance. My only suggestion would be to expose a shot just for the sign itself and blend it in photoshop. It's not cheating; it's finding something that works. By the way, I've seen your shots on www.stevesforums.com. You have a good eye.
