Great shot capturing Los Angeles as a whole (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
at large
'as a whole' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'great shot capturing los angeles' is the wordplay.
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'capturing' indicates putting letters inside.
'los angeles' becomes 'LA' (abbreviation).
'great' anagrammed gives 'atrge'.
'atrge' placed around 'la' is 'AT-LARGE'.
(Other definitions for at large that I've seen before include "Escaped; as a whole" , "Escaped, not captured" , "Free, not in custody" , "Not confined, like escaped prisoner" , "unbound" .)
