love the long reflection of light from the tower .. the buildings are really sharp .. how long of exposure was this ..???

.. this might be an image that would be helped if it was up closer to the 200k limit .. and I wish the foreground rocks were sharper .. but can't have everything I suppose ..

wonderful skyline ..

take care,

John

This is an outstanding night photo. The colors and lighting are very good with excellent sharpness. You have a very good reflection and a nice sky.

Hi Colin,

Excellent panoramic of Chicago, I like the intensity of the lights and the reflections in the water, good perspective of the city, I have created a WS modifying this image, I hope that likes.

Good shot, thanks to share.

Regards
José
