Wow, thanks to all ... especially those who took time to comment. Didn't expect this to be in the top ten. I am humbled as usual. Thanks again.

I just visited Chicago and got the same exact picture. I know it doesn't matter, but thought I'd share that with you.

What a beautifully composed cityscape! It could be me, but it seems like the landscape is off level. Like the clean, noon-time shadows--very crisp shot.

It is a shame that the challenge required 'without players', but I get that feeling with a lot of entries. It is good, but players would make it better. :)

A true "postcard masterpiece" - take it to your chamber of commerce! Great lighting and colors, along with a classic composition.

Excellent shot, maybe slightly tilted but worth a 9

I am very impressed with the colors and wonderful composition of this image. But I am even more impressed that there is barely a discernible person in all that expanse of the field. Great timing and capture.

Great shot with nice bright colors. You captured this challenge theme perfectly. Nice job!

This needs something in the immediate forefront (maybe even on a macro seeting) that really adds some drama. This is a good idea - a city baseball field with all those great buildlings - wonderful contrast in behind. However, it feels like it's missing soemthing. Overall, it's well composed and the colours are very rich -7

What a great place for a ball park. Excellent shot!

Veeery niiice. What can I say lovely capture. If you could change the color of the building on the left that would make it better. Best so far.

Great photo, I am amazed that you could get it without anyone on the fields. I love the colors in this one.

Nice juxtaposition of sports fields vs urban jungle.

Beautiful picture. Nice capture with Buckingham Fountain in background. Also, that diamond building of center is my favorite building in the whole world. YOu have got to love Chicago!!!
