p.1 #1 · Cotton Bowl and State Fair of Texas

From last summer on a humid morning I got a chance to capture this from a top floor of a downtown Dallas hotel. I've been to the Cotton Bowl and State Fair many times, but never had the chance to see it from this perspective before.

Neat shot for a wide, high perspective.
The brightness of the freeway on the lower left does draw me away, however. Maybe burn it in or recrop?

I like it, but feel it needs to be rotated counterclockwise to bring thehorizon and towers into proper perspective.

Cool shot! Did you shoot it from the roof of one of the lofts in Deep Ellum?

Thanks! Actually it was shot from the top floor of the Magnolia Hotel (the one with the Pegasus on top).

It's a great vantage point. I'll have to see if they'll let me up there one day to get some shots.
