Photographer’s Note
Here's another Sunday afternoon shot in Chicago. I liked the way the imperfectly set windows messed with the reflection of the tall building at left.
PP: RAW to TIFF to JPEG; a generous skewing to the left to correct loads of perspective distortion, and increased color sat. Cropped top and bottom.

Hi Matt. Good to see another post, counsellor. You have achieved some excellent reflections here amongst a potpourri of lines and planes typical of downtown scenes. The reflections contrast nicely with the brown hued building on the left and the foreground greenery. The portrait format really works here. Well captured. Best wishes.

Hi Matt!
Another good photo from Chicago. This reflection looks really great. Size of these skyscrapers is impressive. I never see such building in the flesh. But I think small wooden churches are more interesting ;)
Regards.

I like this pretty architectural shot. You did a good job on the perspective correction work. I know where this place is as my wife's family used to live in Chicago. Now her sister and brother live i Naperville. TFS.

Hi Matt
I have some reservations about the pink flag thing, bottom left, but the rest is great, with good composition, reflections, lighting, color & sharpness. 'Old Glory' adds a nice splash of color. Well done!

Hi Matt, A beautiful capture of the reflections. I like the lines and the repetition small squares in this picture. The lighting condition reflected on the building is very interesting as well. A sharp and clear image. Nice shot.

Hi Matt,
nice research of reflexes and architectural details. In particular the reflexed view of the other palace is almost a puzzle.
Original and effective, good contrast of subjects and fine details.
bravo!
ciao, Giorgio
