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. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97242118/the%20casino.jpg -- PeterN |

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. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b72e5o6mgu...no-01.jpg?dl=0 Ah, but it's not my photo... so, as always: YMMV == Later... Ron C -- |

Anyway, the problem I have is that no matter where I looked my eye tended to wander off the picture. Valid point. Here's a severs crop: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97242118/20150726_sky%20casino_0524_DxO%20painted%20black%2 0jack.jpg 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. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b72e5o6mgu...no-01.jpg?dl=0 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. Ah, but it's not my photo... so, as always: YMMV Yep! == Later...

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: https://www.dropbox.com/s/joc80fxmho...inoTC.jpg?dl=0 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? -- PeterN |
