If you draw an imaginary line about 1/4 of the way from the left edge, in the middle of the line you'll find what seems to be a sensor dust artifact you may wish to remove with the clone stamp. You might also consider cloning out some of the intruding objects on the right edge.

I don't see anything special here: just another Vegas shot.

Agreed. Another Vegas shot where the photog should have used a wider lens to boot. The cut-off on the bottom really doesn't work.

I see nothing wrong with posting an image of your own to illustrate what you wish to explain. Photography is a visual media. To attempt to explain visual concepts in only words is to demand a rich and nuanced written skill set for both the poster and reader that might yet fail to fully explain the visual ideas. The old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" is never more true than in the explanation of pictures.

Allen: Dave's post clearly shows a better composition. Your post has too much sky, without a clear point of focus. We look at it and say, ok, what's the point, what do I look at? When you look at Dave's post, you focus right in on the balloon/globe, then the eye is drawn to the tower in the back without the distraction of the very boring hotel in the background.

Having been to Vegas myself as a novice shooter, it's easy to get paralyzed with so much visual food. Keep the composition simple, capturing one or two elements, rather than the 7 or so that are your original post.
