Great vantage point for this shot! I'm drawn to the "reflective" portion of the wheel immediately. - JB

A couple "post-voting" comments... I shot this just after the sun went down. A few folks mentioned that they would have liked it had the sky been darker, but my past experience with this vantage point in particular is that the buildings get lost in a black sky. This was shot on a fairly hazy night (one of only a few favorable nights to shoot that week), so the contrast was tweaked a little higher than I had hoped. It's nice to give folks a glimpse of our city, and to show people that it's not quite as smoky and gritty as it used to be!

The lights make it look like the city is airborn hovering on jets. Beautiful colors.

Comment by chrisab:
This is nice. I think it's a little over exposed for my taste. The sky is too bright for a night shot, and some of the brighter lights are overblown to the point of distraction. But the reflection on the river is very nice, and the colors are good. 7 - chrisab.
