This show well also the meaning of urban jungle.
Each single space is optimized to build the most building possible! the 2 doors on the bottom left corner...pratically open the door and you are immediately in another zone 
I like!
Of course i checked the original...not bad the PP. Personally in the original image, i noticed a cool source coming from the bottom and in my opinion
you should have used that sort of natural cone and isolate that part because really interesting in this shoot. Interesting because the variety of tones reminds immediately something linked to Blade runner....Movie where there were cool games of lighting and colors.
When i use the word isolate i mean reducing all others distractions lights around the cone. I suppose you see the cone shape...because well clear in the pink area where there is also the text.Β Β but of course this is personal vision

Do you see it now? anyway as i wrote this is my personal visual fun about how i see the post production of this image. Of course the post production is always something of extremely personal.
Highlight a specific area for me don't means destroy the tonal life of the image taken in consideration. I think always the best pp start during the photoshooting. a cool capture well balanced offer a little almost invisible PP.
PersonallyΒ i love also artistic post production like for example some soft cinematic color grading
---When you see the image with visible cone, say me, so i can remove it after.---

haha yes triangle!! This because I was thinking to a cone of light on that area!
Blade Runner is the father of neon lights and after 38 years it is always an actual style studied at high professional levels and it is used to learn many concepts relative colors and of course also copied and used till vomit in many movies.
The color grading generated by neon lights in that movie is extra cool!
Yes reds-blues are perfect but in reality the best is create a mix adding soft colors like violet-pink,yellow all to boost the visual interest.
Personally when i think to Blade Runner and relative effect the first thought goes to Japan Hong Kong because it offer cool streets....and for this reason i give you this following link.
Do you know this following youtube video? ------> www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq93yp⦠this author show the great essence of Blade Runner. He explain perfectly advanced concepts really cool! and the final color grading is really perfect!
I write you also this following link -----> www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLG48j⦠where the author show a perfect analysis about how create an excellent color grading
At the end of the story the essence of cinematic look is given thank filling dark areas and so reducing contrasts. Of course the author follow its own way -------> cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/i⦠but the previous example of the begin show an excellent brightness offset ------> all dark areas indeed are excellently filled showing an extra cool cinematic look that personally i love because not invasive

Yes yes i had already understood your approach!
Yes of course we are talking about the Blade Runner style....and so a sort of reminiscence of that movie, illusion generated by the use of some specific color, by the alleys with signboards etcc...Recreate the perfect scene is impossible. But recreate an illusion of that style yes. About this topic, many times i read for example tutorials effect Andrzej Dragan!! No one on this earth is able to recreate that effect, simply because the artist follow his own personal DNA: visual sensitivity, emotions...and the list is long and he spend hours and hours to discover the final perfection. But anyway for fun is possible create a sort of reminiscence of that tec. But it will not be never the same thing!
And i had already write you,Β in my opinion, this your work was already perfectly complete....but you wrote me: "What do you mean by cinematic color grading?"
If someone will read this discussion i think and hope will find funny follow some of these extra links but also only for personal culture. Personally im always curious to read many diffrent approaches and styles...Of course for me are important concepts!
I mean few important if for example the artist has created a work few natural of very saturated or similar things. I love more see the conceptual approach...like for example that to add neon to lettering + some wire on. a cool little concept of mattepainting. Then as we said, the tonal life is something of extremely personal.
Ciao ciao

Yup, I realized that producing something for this contest would be actually doable given the topic. I totally didn't pay attention, though...
