6th place (tie)
The Monte Carlo
by Karen Engel

somewhere in California

While done just for fun, the "big moon" version of this I did in PP and posted in the forum did ultimately bug me a little and got some negative feedback as well, so I've gone back to this, the original version as it was...

Very nice shot Karen, love the lighting! I liked the other version but of the two this would be my favorite. Great entry for the challenge!

I agree with Sky -- I like both versions, but great capture of the Monte Carlo!

Karen, I am glad you have had the chance to put this shot in here! Superb night shot of an ordinary place with an extra-ordinary name.
