The focus is going to hurt you here, a faster shutter speed would have done the trick. It seemed to be a pretty bright day, so you could have increased your ISO and set a faster shutter on TV mode instead of letting the camera choose your settings.

Otherwise - good shadow, colors and exposure. I would have cropped out the fence in the lowere portion of the picture.

Ouch, my neck! Interesting compostion. Great black and white, dogs face is a little over blown, but over all not bad.

Nice image, I think it would have done better in "Framed" Color is great, I like the silhouette of the trees, but I just don't get the feeling of Shadows.

Great color, exposure and contradiction of motion. The Ferris Wheel is slow enough to be in focus and the swing blur adds interest. I might have cropped a bit more to remove the tree on the left.

Agreed. I think this may be the nicest of your Chicago series. The focus is dead on. The colors are wonderful, was it dusk? This is a great time, because it is light enough to see lots of detail, and dark enough for the lights to start coming on. I can see millennium park with such detail.

Really nice job here.

Great color you have captured in the sky, and I like the interest added by the blurred boat, good composition. I think a mild sharpening could give it a nice crisp feel.

Were you on a boat your self, or was this taken from navy pier?
