    Vegas - Which one ?

    Three consecutive shots.
    With wall, or without?
    More greenery, or less?
    More saturation, or less?

    #1 less saturation, no wall
    #2 less saturation, with wall
    #3 more saturation, less wall, fill flash on greenery

    Toss up between 2 and 3 for me, like both for different reasons. 1 ain't doing anything for me...

    Re: Vegas - Which one ?

    I'll go for 2 here. The saturation is good, I think the saturation of 3 is a bit much. Also, as far as the vegetation goes, the way I see it if you include it include more of it. #2 & 3 do a better job in that than #1 which includes enough of the green to distract but not enough to show the context of why it's there.

    so yea 2 for me.

    Re: Vegas - Which one ?

    I like the middle building in your #1 best because of the composition of the windows. I like more vegetation. I like more saturation, but the yellow of #3 is a bit much for me.

    If you could get the composition of the middle building of #1, the vegetation of #3, and the color of the building on the right of #3 all into pic #2...

    Confused??

    The greenery in the first two distract me, but in the third it becomes part of the photo and moves my attention to the yellow building.

    Another vote for number 3. I don't think the saturation is distracting, the tree frames the shot, and I like the colors brought out in the framing buildings around the yellow building.

    Re: Vegas - Which one ?

    I think the green leaves anchor the image much better in the left of the frame. I like the colors of the leaves in the second image better - it matches the neon lighting of the building behind it much better I think. With the flash on the greenery it makes it a different color temperature than the building, which I think hurts the images color.

    Very strong inclination towards 2.

    #3, but straighten it vertically and take out the wall in the foreground. S

    Guess I'm stuck in the middle then. The lighted building draws my eye to the building on the right, but if that just puts the one on the left out then I guess it's good to go as is. S
