Just back from a professional meeting. Had time to breathe, so there was time to shoot...

This is the Chicago River area on Wacker Drive. No sharpening, and only level adjustment and cropping applied.

A beautiful cityscape, nice colour in the sky also.

Lovely lights and compo in this cityscape!

Hi Michael!

I know this spot very well! I must say the lighting and composition are exceptional! Nice job framing this up. The only constructive critique comment I would make would be that a tilt/shift lens would have been handy to have to eliminate the wide angle distortion. I know I sure wish I had one! Nevertheless, this is a wonderful shot!

Nice work, Michael! Love that sky and how the buildings sit in front of it. The tones are fab!

You have captured a fine mix of architectural styles very nicely here. Almost makes me want to go the Windy City, which has never been on my short list.

I love your timing on this one, Michael - that sunset provides a really
nice visual center, and the city lighting is just right! Very nice
work!!

The texture in the sky and the lights in the main building go well together
Nice work - more than just a grab shot
