Fantastic! Sorry I missed this in the voting and post-challenge discussion. This shot is simply wonderful - a combination of determined planning and outstanding execution. Quite an accomplishment!

Nice image, and the text works well with it. The font does blend into the photo a little too much, but I see an attempt has been made to fix that with the outer glow. Good choice. 9

I'm voting this a 6. Why not a 10? The buildings all lean to the right. If you use Photoshop, try exploring the image->transform-> tools. Skewing the upper left corner to the left would've straightened out the buildings.

Also, the text is hard to read because of the font, shadow, and placement. Given that it's Vegas, something neonish in the upper right would've made it easy to read.

like the image. Might have taken care of the distortion cause by the wide-angle lens though.

The text could be better presented for readability here, as it currently gets lost in all the detail of the photo.

Be careful with your perspective, the buildings have that 'leaning back' look. This can be fixed in post with most editing programs.
I think I would have put the text in the upper right corner to keep it from competing with the details.
Good colors and exposure otherwise.

The focus of the photo is more on the plane (especially the bright logo) than the pilot (and his head wear).
