that's awesome. Bigger version?

That could easily be a desktop picture.

psykon99,

Best of the three architecture images, so far. The color, composition and lighting of this one is more pleasing. A little crop top nd right could do away with two distractions, otherwise a good image.

wow, I like this alot... the blues add to the overall crispness of the image... you can almost FEEL how cold it is in Chicago... I love the reflections on the wet street - nice shot!

You should be able to click the image now and goto its Flickr page. From there you can check out larger versions. Unfortunately, the detail tends to go away the larger the picture gets. Between the snow, ISO 1600, and noise reduction, the poor thing lost a little detail. Still my favorite night shot from while I was down there though.

was this handheld or with a tripod?
nothing against your image, it's great, but i'd recommend slowing down the shutter and decreasing your ISO.

A little more foreground snow would be nice too.

Where in Chicago are u located?
I'm out in the suburbs.

Unfortunately it was handheld. It's a long story as to why but suffice it to say, I had to go at it w/ out support. Thus, long shutter speed was out of the question.
