shame about the blue corner - detracts my eye too much from the subject which is beautifully focussed

Thanks all for the comments. This photograph was taken from the 94th floor observation deck of the John Hancock Tower in Chicago - the same location from which achiral's blue ribbon winning //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=41218 (Sweet Home Chicago) was taken. Archiral's Sweet Home Chicago shot inspired me to also go around Chicago and take night shots including shots from the same location where he took his from ... Chicago is such a photographer's heaven and the 94th floor observation deck of the John Hancock Tower is a wonderful vantage point to shoot from ... and apparently can produce winning shots :-). Again, thanks all.

LOL, the guy looks confused as well. Not exactly "eye popping" IMHO, but great capture =-)

Comment by tolovemoon:
A little ironic how do you keep left without hitting a car? I know its perspective of how you got the shot! If that was your intention then I wonder how many will catch on? I like it too!

Comment by Dave Gordon:
Very nice shot of the cactus - clean and well defined. I'm really turned off by that strip of bright blue at the right, it gives the picture a very unnatural look that is out of keeping with the message.
