Impressive view Rew, it really is, but I'd rather be in Christchurh than in Chicago, no offence intended for people from Chicago though ;) .. very good for a scanned photo...

Amazing POV. I can see the mist on top of the photo. You took it from a plane? Very nice one. TFS.

This is a great shot. there is a lot of movement as the lines compete for attention. Seems a little grainy, but maybe it was just hazey? Anyway, a great shot and a great city! TFS.

Hi Rew, Excellent POV and perspective for this dramatic composition. The colours came out well. Looks like it could be tricky crossing that road to get to the beach. TFS. Murray.

Hey Rew!!!!
When I was there I experienced the wide-eye wonder of the amazed turist that you mention in your note! Great shot of a great city!! It is a shame that the shot looks a bit pixelated...

Hi Rew,
Looks like a scanned photo or the smog of that day wad pretty bad. Anyway, I like the POV and the depth. The road is taking me straight to the end but tall building keep stopping me in seach for the little details.
TFS,

I love the geometric contrast between the man made and the natural (ie. wavy sand vs. 90 degree buildings) Thanks

Bonjour Rew
Thanks for this impressive view showing lakefront, downtown Chicago, on a clear day.
The brownish overall hue adds photographic nostalgia of times gone by.
Wonderful!

1993! i was 3yrs old then! This picture makes me feel like i'm flying, good thing i'm not afraid of heights. This picture is absolutely beautiful!!
(Looks like someone's got a pool on top of their building, that’s cool)

Hi Rew

I like the lines of roads going vertically, it visually strengthens the impact. Keep going!

Hello Rew. The coastline and the coastal road make good perspective splitting the ocean and the skyscrapers of the Al-Capone's backyard. Stunning view captured from a borrowed camera. The vertical format works well here and thanks for sharing. Jusni

Excellent photo taken here Rew! when I was a flight attendant, I was based in Chicago (brrrrrr COLD and WINDY):-) and this was indeed the building where everyone enjoyed the view. You captured the skyline and waterfront beautifully. Probably one the the Best shots of this I've seen. :-) tfs p.s. what a fun city! I did enjoy being there (on a temporary basis) hehehehe
I hope to visit your country in the near future.
