Awesome picture! This should probably be up for a Best In Project or some other award. This is really a great shot! Well composed, well thought out, just overall, a great shot!

Great job, Jimmy! I like the DOF you chose here -- well done! The B&W tonal range is great. Well done!

The composition is good here -- One thing I'd suggest -- go back and shoot this at sunrise or sunset... The sun at that position blows out way too much of the shot; not to mention, at sunrise or sunset, you should get some interesting hues that'll really make this pop (as opposed to B&W...)

Hahaha. That's hilarious! When I first saw the shot, I was like, "aw man... what a missed opportunity." Then I read your comment!

Excellent job! This picture almost makes me dizzy. The angle you chose works for this kind of shot. Too many are often shot 'square' which to me seems kind of boring. Well done, Khaled!

Hmmm. The thumbnail caught my attention but it looks like the silhouette over the fisherman seems blurred. Did you use a tripod?

In a word, Outstanding! Those colors are AWESOME and the ways from the sun really make this shot amazing! I'd be willing to bet you could sell a shot like this -- very well done!

Hmmm. I think two things need some improvement here -- first, the exposure seems a little low. This can sometimes be adjusted, especially if you shoot RAW. (With a 20D, I'd always shoot RAW). Your focus also seems a bit off -- definitely worth another try at the shot; there's not much you can do about poor focus.

Great shot! I love the perspective here. I think most people would have stepped back and shot it straight on. Good eye for this kind of shot! Well done!

Khaled -- I've been way busy lately but I've checked in from time to time. I absolutely love this series. Very creative! When I get some time to catch my breath, maybe taking some shots like these might be a good bet!

Thanks, Bhaskar... I don't know about the feature photo thing -- I'm just glad it turned out as well as it did. Ironically, this wasn't posed and actually looks a lot better than most, if not all of my posed shots. This was what I refer to as an "accidental" capture. Totally spur of the moment with just enough time to grab the camera and start shooting with a hot-shoe flash.

Thanks, Joe. I'm going back to Vegas next week for another meeting and I'll be toting my gear again.
One challenge I find with shooting buildings in Vegas is that it's pretty compact. I would guesstimate that I'd need at LEAST a 14mm lens to be close enough to get to some of the buildings to isolate them.
I have an interesting history, work related, with the Bellagio so maybe I'm biased. When I look at other buildings on the strip, the Bellagio still has a special appeal that the others don't have. It's not garish, it's elegant even though inside, many things are over-the-top!
