"The Venetian" in Las Vegas.
Quite the place! In case you were wondering: yes, the sky is fake, it's just a painted ceiling, but the overall effect is awesome!

That water looks much too clean.. is this in Vegas?
I like the variety of color in this image, I also enjoy seeing a different type of activity! The use of the available light is nice, though I wish there was more light in the foreground so details of the riders were a bit easier to see, the focus is pretty decent as well.
The composition is good for the most part but I think you could crop off a fair chunk of the right side, maybe right before the little spouting water area and have the focus be completely on the gondola and its riders. The people looking on the side are not necessary to the image and dilute the power of it in my opinion.
A very nice shot, with an original subject. Fits the challenge easily. Well done. I gave a 6
amazing composition. Passing time in Venice looks fun..too bad its not venice !! it's ok...Vegas is just as fun?? is it Vegas? .look how blue the water looks? it's like a swimming pool..did you edit it?? ...very nice (8)
What beautiful colours and sharpness. Great depth of field. I wonder whether you used a tool in post-processing to bring the sky under control, as there appear to be large haloes around the tops of the buildings and there seems to be a quite dark patch in the centre of the sky. Regardless of that, I think that this is a great picture.
oh wow. I thought my entry was good...then this came along...SUPERB colors and dynamic range here! I can't wait to see who and what camera took this one.
I'm not too sure exactly what that glowing is around the rooftops, but I don't care -- absolutely beautiful image here!
