too much competition - car, chairs, reflections etc that detract from the NEON theme; I would have preferred a closer detail

The composition is weak. I would like this better either closed in more, or taken at twilight, when you can see more of the building, as well as the lights.

to bad the grass is bent across the road, somewhat distracting.

In my humble opinion, if you would have moved to the left to include more of the rode (to lead the viewer down it. . . and gotten that reed out of the way) and gotten down a little lower, you would have increased the dramatic impact of this image tremendously. I am not so sure that you need that much of the farm land on the right showing. best of luck.

Greetings from the Critique Club

The simplicity and unique point of view are what make this photo interesting. Nice balanced composition. The overall tone seems a bit light; I think making the dark parts a bit darker would add more impact. The blue color was obviously inspired by the challenge topic, and it does work well but at the same time it seems a bit artificial. A slightly different hue of blue would work better I think. (Or maybe an entirely different color, like gold, but that wouldn't meet the challenge!) Also, some of the specular highlights are a bit large; they would be less distracting if made a bit smaller, either by adjusting the lighting or some minor retouching in Photoshop.

Focus is great, with just the right depth of field; having the bases of the dumbbells slightly blurry is perfect, adding to the illusion that they are very tall.
