Hey guys. Here are a few of my favorite shots I took on my recent trip to Las Vegas during the week of August 10-15. I went with three of my best friends who just recently turned 21 within the past few months. So you can imagine what kind of time we had. Grin

Sorry, I cannot post these shots directly into this thread. Even after shrinking them as much as I have, I still cannot get them to fit within the requirements on this site and I refuse to lower the size and quality more than I already have. So, I have individual links for each shot.

Hi Silver...
Fantastic Photo's... 8)...!
They remind me of some of the shots of Las Vegas in "CSI", (Crime Scene Investigation), on the Television... Wink

...!

I could never understand why some-one built such a complex city in the middle of the Nevada Desert, with nothing but sand, flies, and rattle-snakes for hundreds of miles all around... Grin

....!

...and at 8,000+ feet ASL it's pretty hard to get off the ground in my little Cessna's... Roll Eyes

.....

...!

Cheers Silver....

Did you check to see the competition you may have on the site ?....sometimes you may run into too many images which are similar to the ones you are trying to upload.....I find that if you have something rare or unique, you will have a better chance of getting accepted.......

Well yeah, but I would say that compared to the redundant images of airplanes taxiing or on final all taken from the same angles that those two images are somewhat unique. But the shot that was rejected was rejected because of low quality of the image. Oh well, I'll see what I can do with it to improve the quality and send it on back through that 12+ day upload queue. I can't really see a difference in quality between the two shots...my guess is maybe two different screeners viewed them and it was a matter of personal opinion.

Anyway thanks for the comments everyone!
