Nice lighting and DOF. May have benefitted from a tighter crop I think. 6

I like the lighting. The pillow in the front left is a little distracting, but well done image overall. Good luck.

love this spot - great job capturing one of the most amazing places on earth. i especially like how you were able to get the cones almost in a line. the sky does seem to have a slightly strange aqua tint to it - probably due to the color choices for soil in the foreground

Congratulations on a top ten, this is a great shot, with an attractive golden glow. I think the border works well with this.

The wide angle distortion gives the photo a feeling of grandeur, which nicely complements the golden lights of the city. And the bridge forms a lovely diagonal too. Gorgeous urban shot. Congrats on a top 10 finish - it's well deserved :)

I knew this was you! Wonderful photo. You managed to capitalize on the Chicago feel in one shot. Terrific work.

My first thought was that building needs a good scrubbing.

The crop looks a bit ackward. Does the rule about not cutting people's arms off in photos work towards buildings? I wonder if the windows of the foreground building weren't cropped half way if it would feel less ackward. The norm for tall buildings like this is vertical, but I don't think that is always necessary. It's just what is expected. The height is what probably would have gotten the "wow."

Overall, not a bad photo and good colors. Just some minor compositional issues and your focus was off a tad.
