I just got back from Chicago (my home too). I miss the city already!
Great Job on the photo! I only hope I can make pictures like this soon!

| WOW!! you got this so grain-free with ISO 1600? That Canon body's looking mighty tempting if that's so and you didn't have to do any trickery to tone down the noise. INCREDIBLE! Congratulations! |

Of course you know by now that this is a great shot :P Nice work!
I personally don't like the stars because they make it look a little messy or dirty... sort of like when I get a swarm of gnats in a shot. I think there are enough little dots with all the lights in the bottom half to clean up the sky but anyhoo. It'd also be cool if you could show more to the left.. more of the shoreline. Definitely worthy of the blue ribbon. Congrats!

Stunning shot. I've viewed this on my laptop and desktop machine and I can see the stars on my LCD screen but not my CRT. Shame.
So, just in case others can't see them either, there are lots of stars in the sky above the horizon which really makes the composition! Well deserved placing.
Edit: just noticed the scores below the 5 mark. What are these people on? What were they hoping for from this challenge? Nuts!!

No sympathy for the Cubs, but very nice photo - it unquestionably deserved a ribbon. Can't say the Cubs deserve anything :-) I also gotta question the intelligence of anybody who gave this below a 6.

| This is a beautiful shot. By far my favourite for the challenge. It's nice to see a night shot that is properly done. Most of the other ones have too much haze or were overexposed. There does seem to be some noise in the sky, but you could pass that off as stars. Excellent work. Keep it up! |

Winner!!! HANDS DOWN!!
Where do I start? Its perfect, the exposure, the view of almost an entire city, I'm Stunned!
This is a postcard! One of the best images Ive seen in a long time ,including some very tough competition in this challenge included..
Where did you take this picture from to get this amazing view!
I wish I could give it a 20, but a HUGE 10 will have to do! |

It looks a bit bigger than Chorley (pop. 100,000) that's for sure ; )
Awesome. Breathtaking shot. Would love to see the detail in it at full resolution as I have a feeling that 640 pixels just doesn't do it justice.
Has to get lumped in with all the other 10s I'm afraid, but only because I can't give it 11. |

| Interesting image. I would like to know how this was done. I see the moon rising, but are the white specks in the sky stars? If so, I don't recognize any constellations. Never saw a night shot in a big city that shows so many sky objects. An excellent night shot. |

| Incredible aerial shot. Lovely evening colour. But the photo is very pixelated and grainy. It almost looks like a shot of a poster. The horizon is only slightly above the vertical centre of the image, so maybe positioning it either hiher or lower would have worked well. Extra points for bravery - this must have been shot either from a plane or some kind of tower. I would be wuzzy by now. |

Great scene, particularly with the dark lake off to the side.
Very good entry. From the Hanncock Building ? If I had to make suggestions - maybe slightly earlier in the evening so the sky wasn't totally black, but I don't know then if hte lights are on and maybe a touch less sky/ more pointed downwards if you could ? A very strong entry for the theme.

Very nice photo of a great city. I live here! (but the traffic sucks)
Where did you shoot this from? It looks as though you are almost as high up as the top of the Hancock building.
I would have liked a slightly wider angle to see more lake and still keep the Sears Tower in the photo. |
