Neat shot. I like the way the red/yellow of the neon sign match the red and yellow of the objects outside. --Melanie

Great composition, and I love that reflection. Very nicely seen and captured! Helen

PS...that's a Burger King in the reflection. I've been trying for days to put that in my description: Burger King reflected in Pizza shop door, but PBase isn't letting me play with this shot any more. :(

Thanks Frank, Bottles, Jerry.
This was not a planned shot. I was going to the Radio Shack a couple of doors away when I noticed the reflection in the door so I ran back to my truck for the R1. Set it up on the way so I could shoot fast. I've shot this storefront before & experience has taught me that property owners gets paranoid when their premises are repeatedly photographed.

Well, I have been looking on this shot a couple of time. It would be too easy to say that the corresponding reds of the neon and the car or the reflection is making the image. So I finally stop and can just say I like it without a particular reason. :-)

Really a nice shot jp, I like the tricky lights and the neon sign light as well. Great entry for the challenge!

I didn't think it was a pp trick, jp. I was thinking it was looking through the glass in the door from the inside, with the inside lights reflecting in the glass. Had I been a little more observant, I would have seen that it's the outside of the door we're seeing here. And, of course, the sign should be a clue, too ;-)
Nice shot!

hmmm...maybe I need to explain this shot. It's not a post-processing trick, just the reflection of the parking lot in the door. A trick of light IOW.

Hmmm... an alien invasion, maybe? Maybe they will like the pizza more than you do ;-)
