Hello from the Critique Club

First Reaction
Like the lights and angle

Technically
Well shot, good focus, lighting works, no grainy feel for shooting 1600

Composition
Is interesting but I dont see the vanishing point only because the building flattens out at the top which stops the eye. It should lead me right out of the frame.
Maybe cropping the top would have helped.. Not sure through.

Over all it is a nice photograph but just not for this challenge

Thanks for allowing me to critique your photo.

Keep shooting and have fun.

Karen

Great shot of the Stratosphere. Its where I stayed when I went to Vegas. I love the lighting. Very nice as a night shot. I do feel that it does not really fit the challenge though. The building is made to taper in so from this perspective there are no parallel lines that go towards a point imo.
