 First entry with my new Rebel XSi. Nothing spectacular, but I guess it does fit the Challenge description.

It's the entry dome to the Fallsview Casino Resort, taken from the 9th level parking garage. Minimal curves, levels and unsharp mask.

I think I should mention, this camera is awesome. Now, for an L lens!

Nice glasswork - wonder about this with the left 'busy' side cropped right out, but your call of course.

I like the composition and lighting. Good night-scape shot. I like the decorative elements on the dome as well. Title definitely fits the challenge as I understand. Good luck.

very pretty dome - wish you would've cropped out the rest of the photo, since it's uninteresting. I'd probably crop it so that the left side of the dome falls into the corner.
