Row of Angels Photo

Photographer’s Note

Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I saw a picture of this on TrekEarth after I came back from Las Vegas. I knew I could do a better job with my photo of the same subject.

I cropped the image to remove the hotel in the background, straitened and adjusted the contrast. I like the results.

Hello Cheryl,

This image is very nice. I like the composition because the structure and angels create a positive angle from right to upper left. The colours are superb and properly saturated. Nothing unnatural about them for sure. Good sharpness and effective point of view. Lovely place I imagine. Thanks Cheryl.

You've taken something that is I feel is trite and touristy and made some art with it. Well done, Cheryl. You are a natural.

Hello Cheryl,
I have searched for the other picture. Sure, yours is definitely better since photography stars when you decide what to show and try to avoid disturbing elements. You have concentrated on the important parts and got the maximum of the theme. I like the consequent diagonal composition.
Unfortunately I do not know all the exposure parameters. I suspect you have used high sensitivity and therefore the colour noise is quite strong. (Deep blue sky without clouds is sensitive for noise.) In the WS I send you a corrected version.
Best whishes
Laszlo
