Default New York New York Casino

Today on Flickr, I chanced across an image taken by someone else at this very same location. I took a look at the image I made and decided I didn't much care for it.

On this one, I decided to combine the foreground with another image taken at the same time just to increase the amount of traffic. I then adjusted curves and exposure a bit. Popped the color. Sharpened and lastly tried to reduce the lens distortion.

Hi there,
I really like the second shot, it stands out so much more than the first. Vegas is an amazing place and I fell in love with it when we visited last September. So much to photograph I seemed to spend my time composing pictures in my head. Really like your shot, well done.

excellent work! Looks very natural and much stronger as an image.

I thought the first photo was great. Then I saw the second shot and WOW! Great improvements on an already wonderful image. Nice work!
