Great shot. Horizon seems to be tilted a bit.

Simple, but lovely. Go amount of space on top and bottom.

The city at night in Chicago looks ok.....

I find this to be a dull, lifeless shot. The horizon looks tilted, the buildings don't seem to be in perfect focus, the framing seems strange at the right. It just isn't great work. Sorry; better luck next time.

Like the starry streetlamps and expanse of city lights; a little dark and undifferentiated in foreground and sky

The placement of the streetlamps makes this remind me of Van Gogh's Starry Night over the Rhone. Wonder if it's just a touch bottom-heavy? Pretty shot.

Nice composition. The lights at the bottom show a bit of a tilt, but it's very minor. Good cityscape photo.

it's nearlt really good.
but it seems a little "flat".
i don't know if it's slightly blurry or if it's just hazy?
nice attempt anyway.

great shot, but not sure of your horizon, it seems a bit skewed
01/05/2006 12:31:10 AM
I just bought a more stable tripod and head for this reason.

you're too far from the "life" but a nice skyline
01/04/2006 08:52:45 PM
nice shot, although the center diamond light seems to draw too much of my attention.

Nice work capturing night lights without over-exposing. Unfortunately the bright lights near the bottom draw my attention away from the buildings without adding much to the shot. Perhaps a title like "Cities don't sleep" might have portrayed the "Life" component of the challenge more.

That's a skyline. Where's the citylife?
01/04/2006 01:47:11 AM
this doesnt excite me too much, just your typical skyline. in this challenge i was hoping to see more of the essence and uniqueness of a city being captured
