Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Angels at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas

Row of angels in front of Caesar's Palace[edit]

I visited Las Vegas last week for a short holiday. I came across these angels quite suddenly. The angle of the arch, the receding size of the snow-white angels with their trumpets and the amazingly beautiful sky had to be captured. To me, this image has an ethereal quality. I had a good camera with me, a Panasonic Lumix model and decided to take the picture. When I saw it on my laptop screen, I had a great desire to share it with people and hope that when they see the beauty there, they will have the "wow" reaction too. I have already added this picture below the others in Wikipedia's Caesar's Palace page. --Aernyes (talk) 02:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

While the image adds to the article the image isn't of featured quality because (1) the subject is cut off, not just at the bottom but also one of the angel's trumpets, (2) the image suffers from distortion, (3) there's a lens flare in the upper right, (4) the sky is noisy/artifacted and (5) doubtful encyclopedic value - if you hadn't told me it was at Caesar's Palace then I can't figure out where the image was taken as the leftmost column obscures the logo. (1), (2) and (5) can be corrected by reshooting further away from the subject while (4) can be corrected with noise reduction and/or downsampling.

It might also be a copyright violation. Can someone check this? MER-C 13:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
