1) I like this, but the tree in the upper right distracts me a lot.
2) Awesome; tht thing in the water is sweet.
3) I think you could darken the lower tones in this image to drop the sky to black and it would work a lot better. Right now the texture in the sky bothers me a little bit. Otherwise I like this one too.

what a place. Wish I could have shot more but like you said adult beverages make it a little hard to carry the camera around. SR and all

Thanks Paul It was about 11:30 PM and from the top of the Eiffle tower you really get a great view of the City. I was using my Tamrom 18-250 - wanted to use a few other lens but ya know there is stuff to do there haaha. Check out the others in the link to my flickr site.

Thanks sjl7678 - The tree does not bother me but I can see your point. That is a water fountain at the Bellagio - it goes every 15 minutes from about 04:00 pm until midnight. It is quite a good show especially from the tower view. There are other shots I took that are sweet as well. Good tip on the sky thanks.

Thanks Pat I was thinking about ya while I was up there, in fact after seeing your shots it was the reason I went up there. (Been to Vegas several times and never went up to the tower) . And oh Yeah we arrived Sunday and left on Friday evening late so I had 6 full nights to get up there and we stayed at Bally’s the hotel right next to it. In my day shots I just got up early and took some on day two, sobriety was not a problem as the morning usually consists of just a couple coffee and baileys. It was not until Thursday I was sober enough (although that is debatable haha) and had my camera as I was determined to get up there. I almost missed the fountain show as I caught the second last one (11:30 pm ish) - Glad I made it though.
