Bill mentioned you were a master of post work. If so I love what you've done with this. A city of steel and glass reflected in the river which looks like it is made of steel and glass. Love the composition where the white, white sky is balanced out by the dark on the left side, especially the pillar (?) that anchors that side.

So cleverly done, Mark, but I'm afraid those buildings oppress me instantly.

Well, I had my feelings, that you were born to do this. I was right. I adore this piece. I couldnt help saying this. Just ignore me. I am not even here yet. :-P

Beautiful shot

Wonderful cityscape, Mark. The light, as in many of your photos, is very intense - almost, but not quite to the point of being too blindingly bright - yet somehow you pull it off & manage to make it work. I particularly like the contrast of the old style bridge with the modern geometrically rigid buildings & the warm orange reflections in both the cylindrical object (building? column?) in the foreground & the large building that I see as the focal point of this composition...

Even though a 2 Megapixel camera its a fantastic shot not that long ago 2 megapixel was considered an awesome image size now around 13 to 20 is the kind of norm lovely work My friend i love the chicago skyline second NY 's my first its awesome Thanx Mark!

Loved Chicago.. Michigan Ave. Great shot!

Beautiful and surreal colors in this image, Mark. I can't even imagine a 2MP camera, these days, so this quality is impressive!

Love the high key feeling, and the colours -- such a rich range in subtle between-the-colours colours....it sings! Wonderful work!

my cell phone is only 3 pixels. great cityscape and composition of lights and shadows

Still, it's a lovely photo, Mark!

Amazing how the technology has advanced.... My first digital camera took a 640 X 480 photo, and stored it on a 3.5 inch floppy disc that would hold an amazing 1.4 MB! Now, your cellphone takes 6MP photos, and for less than 1000 bucks you can get cameras that fly. I can't begin to imagine what the next 5 years will bring...

Cool capture.

Very great shot my friend !!!

Oh, I know just where you were standing, with the DuSable (Michigan Ave) bridge ahead and the corn cobs behind you. The Chicago River is a wealth of wonderful shots just waiting to happen, isn't it? This is fabulous! I love the fire on that glass building. Doesn't matter how many mp you've got ... you're a natural at photography!

it is never the camera and it is always the photographer... this is awesome! you are a fantastic photographer and you have a great eye for finding interesting and clever images. well done at catching the sunlight in the windows; it makes this wonderful scene even more perfect.
