The object is beautiful, but the colors are kind of dead, and this is making it look like a snapshot! I'm really sorry if i was rude! Good luck.

Pretty water. This isn't what I normally see when I'm in Vegas, but thanks for the different perspective!
 03/17/2009 05:13:32 PM
Light is a bit too harsh
 03/17/2009 03:57:09 PM
Nice shot of architecture, I like how much water you included.
 03/17/2009 12:53:45 PM
Looks like a cool place.
 03/17/2009 10:43:37 AM
Looks like a nice place to stay.
 03/16/2009 11:04:39 PM
Yes. Nice exposure.

Besides the misspelling of Vegas, it's a nice photo. :)
 03/16/2009 09:00:04 AM
This shot would have looked better with more captured at the top and bottom, i.e. more of water as well as that dome not getting cut off
 03/16/2009 04:22:58 AM
Well captured and presented.

Great colors in this shot - the blue and the white are captivating.

A very familiar place and view, but I like how you have framed it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 01:39:55 PM
Wonderful color and detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:11:36 PM
Good idea and shot. Not sure that a different crop would've scored higher.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 10:18:22 AM
Wow, so clear, so vibrant, so blue, very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 07:55:59 AM
Not much interest. Verticals are off, makes it a bit uncomfortable. Good color and detail.
 03/15/2009 06:03:46 AM
Im not sure what exactly is this or what is the meaning of this shot but probably it is just suppose to be a snapshot or documentary about some place somewhere?
the place looks nice though and the pic is taken considerably well too...

thx, brano

Don't you mean Vegas? It's a nicely lit picture, but rather ho-hum.
 03/14/2009 08:00:28 PM
The lighting on this is beautiful.
 03/14/2009 02:41:28 PM
I'm guessing you Vegas...? And this is the Bellagio? Nice crop.
 03/14/2009 10:10:11 AM
Very pretty--Wish you wouldn't have cut off the top of the building, however.
 03/14/2009 08:52:39 AM
The crop is a little awkward in that the top of the main building is cut off
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:35:21 AM
I love Bellagio
 03/14/2009 03:50:15 AM
Vegas or Vagas?
 03/14/2009 03:37:59 AM
Vagas, I though Venice or similar. Nice shot
 03/13/2009 11:41:23 PM
Looks like a postcard.
 03/13/2009 08:40:09 PM

Looks like a pleasant place to be!
 03/13/2009 01:57:57 PM
oh yeah, been there, done that! wish the top of the rotunda wasn't cropped off
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:49:30 PM
love your colors...you just cut off the top of the building...not to worry...still a very pleasing shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:30:23 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:34:54 AM
good composition and great exposure - wish i could see the top of the roof
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:39:41 AM
What an inviting image.
 03/12/2009 09:49:49 PM
Pretty blue water and nice detail. Can I nitpick about the tip of the dome being cut off at the top of the frame?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:35:24 PM
Beautiful
 03/12/2009 12:12:31 PM
very nice shot
 03/12/2009 11:21:17 AM
Interesting architectural details.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:31:27 AM
Vagas or Vegas?
 03/11/2009 06:12:34 PM
The colors are grand. The architecture is well captured, but the composition feels really cramped.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:55:35 PM
I'd like to see the top of the dome and less water. The comp is off just a tad. Beautiful color in the water!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:00:30 PM
Neat shot.
 03/11/2009 09:57:39 AM
That water is gorgeous. I want to go there and rent a room for a month! haha. Nice!
 03/11/2009 08:38:14 AM
wow make you want to dive in awesome
 03/11/2009 04:27:18 AM
lovely colours, the line and shadows on the balconies works well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:10:45 AM
Gorgeous place. I love the blue light cast back from the water onto the balcony undersides, makes them sort of echo the dome.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:55:37 AM
I would have cropped some off the bottom and left more of the building.. otherwise nice!
