A fellow photography buff and a really good photographer, Prashant pointed out that more interesting angles of the previous shot were in order so Prashant here they are ... besides I took these and the fountain a week after I got my camera and was in a Point and Shoot mode.. I had yet to learn about angles, composition, lighting and exposure. Not that I know all that stuff now but I'm getting there... hehehe so keep those comments coming on how to make the shot better...
Thy Will Be Done
This is a closer shot of the sculpture on top of the building in the previous shot. I changed the color temperature of the pic to give it a more foreboding look.
This is a closeup shot of the fountain. Its slightly out of focus, the framing isn't done properly, so I didn't post it before. I plan to go to Vegas again now that I know more about digital photography. Vegas has such a multitude of subject matter that I wish I had gone there after I had read some books on photography.. well whenever I do I'll post the pics...
On a side note..anyone who's done portrait photography I would appreciate it if you could tell me what books you read to learn it or if you didn't read any book then what principles do you go by when taking portrait shots? I wanna get into it and am preparing myself for it so your comments would be really appreciated. Thanks everyone for your comments.

Another shot from Vegas. The oxidized copper's green color provided a nice contrast with the cream colored building and that was in good contrast with the blue of the sky making this an interesting shot. You have to see the larger image since the small preview doesn't do it justice. It was very bright that day so the shot looks a little overexposed. I should have used bracketing however I was just starting out at the time and didn't know bracketing from bucketing. Another interesting thing about this picture is that the left side of the building is in shadows while the right side of the fountain is in shadows which makes it really interesting since there is only one light source - the sun.
Thanks everyone for your comments. Critical comments are welcome too so please help me get better or an opportunity to explain why I shot it the way I did. Thanks again.
