____________________________________________
Note that there are some streaks in the light coming from light above Luxor. Those are bugs that hover over the Luxor's light (which purportedly can be seen from space) that made streaks in the photograph over the 10 second exposure. Also, you can see the room lights in the Luxor hotel, which I kept in for realism (this is Vegas, after all, and not Giza ;->).

The Luxor...cool. Why didn't you tell me you were in town?

This just isn't very interesting. A very conventional angle, I'm not sure much could have ben done with this, but perhaps an interesting angle could have been found that made better use of the laser?

a little more exposure on the sphinx would help a bit, like the composition

i think the shot suffers a little bit in that it has very little sense of scale. it might be huge, or just 6 inches tall, but there is no way of knowing. the pyramid thing in the background (i'm guessing now that this is vegas) has the combined unfortunate effect of being a distraction and also being more dynamically interesting photographically. 4.
