Tony Cooper and I'm sure a lot of others would never do this.
When I want to take a break from playing poker, I walk around taking
pictures.
AFAIK most casinos do not allow photography. Mohegan Sun does, within
limits. You may not go on the casino floor, but must stand behind a low
rail. The restriction doesn't seem to unduly hinder photo ops.

That's quite artistic.


Um, that's a polite way of putting it.

At least the noise is camoflaged.

I don't have a problem with the rendition being abstract and
artistic. I tend to like that kind of stuff. Heck, my artistic formative
years were the psychedelic late 60's -- 70's.
Anyway, the problem I have is that no matter where I looked my
eye tended to wander off the picture.

One thought I had for adding a focus point was to have a saturation
gradient. Here's a (somewhat heavy handed) quick test of the concept.

Ah, but it's not my photo... so, as always: YMMV

My thoughts too. I liked it.

That's a nice Renoirdering.

Valid point. Here's a severs crop:

Valid interpretation. Your color tonality is very close to the original.
I did the heavy color saturation because I think casinos are loud and
gaudy places. I wanted to convey that feeling.

Yep!

Peter's version is much bolder than yours, and the bolder version
seems to work better in my view. You've toned it down and the result
is too muddy looking for me.

I'm not big on re-working other people's work, but I'll do it here. I
would crop the left side off thusly:

I think Ron C had a valid point about lacking a center of interest. One
of the reasons I posted was that I couldn't put my finger on what the
image lacked. My problem with your version is that my eye did indeed
bounce between the two tables and the red pit boos stand in the middle.
So as I previously responded I cropped the image to one table.

BTW there is a lot of street potential in casinos. As you know that is
not what I look for. Do the Indian casinos near you allow photography?
