Hi Ursula,
Excellent night shot. I prefer the real Venice in Italy but your picture from Vegas is great! Brilliant colours, light and clarity, nice framing too. Well done.

Hi Ursula, it's a great shot. Excellent handling of light and composure - but, in the same breath, psobably THE reason I probably won't ever visit Las Vegas!
Best wishes,
Paul.

Hello Ursula,
Very nice composition and correct exposure. I also liked square format and your framing.
Very well done,
Ahmet

Luminous view of the casino, it's sharped and colorfull. The gondole in foreground is a nice detail. It's curious to find a little piece of Italy in Nevada.

Hi Ursula,

I'm not a big fan of American razmataz so I've just imagined this as the real thing. This is a picture postcard image, well composed and full of colour. It's sharp and detailed, has good reflections and from a great pov too. A fine shot Ursula but wrong country :-)

Regards

Stephen

Hi Ursula,

Vladimir

Each casino is like a small town by itself. Wow, interesting detailsl about the casino. 1.5 billion dollars ? It looks perfect exposure. Very well captured and very sharp.
