  10. I love the way you compose this shot. Very artistic bokeh with good subject isolation!

  11. Dana/Dot, Luckily for telephotos lens, I did not get wet. I don't know if I would go that far to suffer for my art. Thanks for asking.

  12. Lara/Andrea/Annie, Thanks for your comment. This is a well photographed fountain in Vegas, I'm sure. Day or night, people are posing in front of it.

  15. Roentarre, thank you for the compliment. I figure the shot of the whole fountain was already overdone. Plus I need to practice on my isolation shots.

  16. Web-OJ, thanks. Running the fountain in the desert is always a money losing proposition.

  17. I have to admit to not noticing this when I was in Vegas....the water show at the Bialligio or however you spell it was awesome! This is lovely.
