Comment from Artistic Chick
Now this is a panorama. What a widespread shot of this spread of a hotel. I bet Trump doesn't have any claim on this. I hope not. What an amazing architectural specimen. The purple sky and water is almost eerie. Thanks for sharing this. I dont think it would have fit on that panorama of Namibia.

The resort in The Bahamas is no longer owned or operated by Kerzner and is now owned by Brookfield Asset Management LLC. and operated by Marriott International's Autograph Collection Hotels.

Marriott has quite a conglomerate. Was it the Royal Atlantis that had the blue pool with palm surrounding
s? That was quite beautiful. Dubai has been seeing a great deal of positive attention in the press...even the Kordashians have "spread" their name over there. I don't know why they think that if their name is associated with something or somewhere. It brings about greatness. I don't see it.

Comment from DATA-Angels53
A very entertaining shot as architecture is emphasized. The colors really make me thing of Dubai as a sand storm area. My only suggestion for improvement would be the colors ... a brighter or different angle would make for a more dramatic image. The law of thirds if really well captured with a wide angle capture. Overall, very well done. Especially at 3 clics away !

Comment from michiganmike
A very nice shot. I was wondering if the single family structures along the shore are owned by the hotel or are privately owned. A very good composition with wonderful dusky colors.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the distant enormous Atlantis Hotel glowing pink gold against the sky coloured pink in the sunset. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from nikman
A very impressive architectural shot of a huge hotel and surroundings. The dusk light seems to have muted the scene. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely taken.
