 Taken early in June when on vacation just before the NYC GTG

In retrospect, this was not the best shot I took in Chicago, but I didn't have time to process everything after I got back and just threw this one in as I sort of liked the postcard feel.

This one likely would have scored better, but I only noticed it about 10 mins before roll over and so ran out of time.



Other option was this, but I thought the flare would bother people. I still really like it

Feel free to blame this one on me. I still say you should have gone with Nick, though. :-)

This shot has a really nice balance between the blue sky, and the lighter buildings.

really nice cityscape - the bright sun could be a problem but you have done a very nice job of balancing it and the sky - well well done!

Interesting study in whites and a unique perspective on an oft-photographed city. I would have cloned out the people, or at least the one in red/pink on the right.
