Photo seems in focus, clea, and alighned, looks good as a black and white, all though a night shot maybe could be lighter ,might have wanted a longer shutter and wider ap to catch more light, No emotional apeal, and io dont see much creativity maybe if there were some moving subjects, prossing for the most part correct, mybe make the exposure lighter to get more of the scene but in the end the sighn sticks out the most, decent shot

I have to be honest, I am not entirely fond of this photo. It has a great composition, which draws me to it, however, I think the halos from the sign over the door, and the glow from the signs in the window is a big turn off. They provide a good contrast though. I like the leading lines from the sidewalk, whether they were intentional or not. When you look at the lower part of the picture, it draws your attention back to the building. Though Ashlee adds some type of imagitive input, the photo overall doesn't do much for me.

I like your composition alot, you have that long sidewalk the building and the creepy person all in view. Good choice with the shutter speed it gives all of the lights an extra glow which is a really nice effect. I love the contrast of the bright lights and the dark building,all of the shadows give it a really creepy feel. While there's no "WOW!" factor to it, it's definately interesting and holds your attention. Good job.

To me it seems as if there's no true point to the photo. I wish there was more of a point of interest to the viewer. It comes across as just a simple photo taken. I also think certain parts of t he image are a little too bright and could maybe be dulled down a little. Some of the signs are hard to make out and maybe if they were in focus more it would make for better composition.

ashlee looks like a creepy old man but that's cool. i love how the chickie's and pete's sign isn't all blurry and it's very distinctive. i like how you can see in the window and there's more lights in the window too. the cracks in the sidewalk leading up to the building adds a very nice affect to the picture. your ISO is good, not sure if you should have pumped it to 200. that might have allowed the actual building to show through more. 5 second shutter speed seems appropriate because there wasn't anything that you were trying to capture the movement with or anything. over-all really nice exposure and different from other pictures of the restaurant.
