This is really good now. And with lots of symmetric elements.

Thanks for you comments, Najinsky. I agree with your observations about the contrast and did a little more work on the image. I think this is better. What do you think? For comparison I posted a copy of the original image in Pending. - Ken

Vegas looks like a real colour-fest. There's lots I like about this, but I'm in two minds about the low contrast. Some parts, like the roof, benefit from the low contrast, but other parts, like the dark background and the road in the foreground, I think would benefit from more contrast. Regards, -Najinsky

Thanks for your kind words, Paul. I don't get into the decadence of Vegas ... but it's a wonderful place for photography. - Ken

Ahhh Vegas, never been there except for the airport and I didn't even de-plane while waiting to takeoff again. I'm not a gambler, I hate smoke filled buildings and despise all the ding,ding dinging of the slots.

Never less this is a interesting moment to capture and if you go to Google maps and search for 4th and fremont las vegas then drop down to "street view" it shows you a daytime capture of the same scene. Yours shows it much better, far more alive, colorful and dynamic.

What is funny about Google maps images is they have a facial recognition feature that blurs out faces and it blurs out the guy panning for gold. Paul
