Congratulations on the visit and capture. :wavey:
The white hole in the upper middle is a eye grabber and takes the viewer from the main attraction. On my laptop the exposure seems a bit over.
I am looking forward to some slot shooting this summer :toast:

Very nice composition, as Rick says I think that central background seems a bit over in my monitor

Really nice composition Nancy. I agree with the others about darkening the centre. I would also crop the bright area at the top. Really nice image though.

Nancy, It must have been fun being here to photograph this location. I agree that cropping out the bright V at the top helps this alot, otherwise my eye just zips right up there. Your exposure was maybe a bit bright but still a cool picture. :smile:

Can't really add anything to the previous suggestions. Looks good though. :wavey:

Excellent comp Nancy, and I really like the light, all I might do is crop the open space at the top, I think it might make a big difference.

I sure like the way your comp. pulls my eyes back and forth from the bottom to the top. I agree with the others about removing the white wedge at the top.
