I love the lovely hues and tones that you have used here and this marvelous pov which makes the ambiance ever so wonderful and indeed chilly!

Hello Henryk,

My father visits Chicago shortly, I hope he gets reasonable weather and brings home some photos like this one. The broken shards of ice here in Lake Michigan look incredible, almost as if they were precisely cut by human hands. The Sears Tower looks very prominent in this photo; I like how the golden morning light illuminates the buildings. I think a bit of extra sharpening will provide you with that defined edge that would offer greater depth. It is a very attractive scene; Chicago looks like a terrific city to explore.

Hello Henryk,

Yellow city texture between two gorgeous tones are very attractive in your photo. Early morning light with low angle creates great play and reflections. Wonderful, congratulations.

Best Regards,
