Hi luismr:
I think using a polarizing filter would help. Also taking 3 or 4 pictures with different exposure values will help you get all with proper detail and not washed out. Remember to use a tripod. Or in the last case, if you want to have this particular picture fixed, you can always search for another picture with a nice sky that matches your photo, and replace it in photoshop =P
Thanks for sharing it.

Luis....love the subject of this shot...I might suggest going back there at night for a night shot of that...I think that would look great. In regards to this shot, it looks a little dark...I would probably try and lighten it up a bit if you could. Might sharpen it a bit really make the sign "pop." Thanks for sharing. Love your work.

BlakeJames,
After the initial comment from oriolhdz I said to myself -I should do the same photo with night light- I'll be so cool. Anyway, I don't have plans to return to Orlando up to next year.

Thanks for your feedback.
