It was a VERY humid morning and the temperature was already about 90° at sunrise. Sometimes an environment is so errie that no photograph can capture it. Sometime you the press the shutter and there it is. Other than a little cropping and straightening, this is out of camera. Taken through window glass.

You might play a bit with contrast and brightness (or a tad more saturation) to give it more punch. My name is Henk. and I believe "It is all in the eye of the beholder....."

Rad (The strip as seen from the Orleans) TBH, I don't see a whole lot to it. Some may get off on the sky colors (which are pretty good), but beyond that there's not much that's intriguing to the image (maybe if you caught the Luxor's apex light could have dramatically changed the image). If you're going for the silhouette look, you might as well complete it and remove the light point sources along the bottom of the frame.

I will think about removing the lights. At the time that I was there, I did not know that the Luxor turns it's lights off. To me, that is what was part of what made the whole vista so eerie. It gave me the feeling of a (finally) "sleeping beast". I mean, really, how often do you see the Luxor turned off. It has got to be late for that. Sun coming up. To me, the fact that the light is off - the city is dark, in defiance of the sunrise - doesn't say so much the promise of a new day, but rather, the bleary end of a long night. .
