Another Chicago shot...hope you enjoy it! The sun was setting over this building right when we arrived at the hotel, so I grabbed my camera and took some shots quickly! I edited this a little by removing the color from the surrounding buildings and darkening them. I also increased the saturation of the river colors a lot.

Well, my friend I have to tell you that I like what you did with the surrounding buildings, but I feel that the extra saturation in the river led to unwanted pixelation. Especially in the foreground, I might have wanted to put a mask on it and used a slight gaussian blur to smooth the colors (which are great) out a bit..just my two cents' worth...lovely shot.

Lovely shot, I love chicago :]
I agree with PJ on the foreground though...there is just a little too much pixelation for my liking.
Incredible timing with the sun over the corner of the building, kudos to you!

Despite the, pixel thing, I really like this shot. Repetition of the sun reflecting over the water does a lot for affect. Very lovely :)
