| I think this is a decent shot. It has that uncomfortable feel of a rough winter and the snowstorm really adds to that feeling. I think you captured it well. |

Positives:
A nice wintery cityscape capture. I cannot describe why, but this captures the feeling of a big city(Chicago) in winter and that is its strength. Nicely done in BW to capture that feeling.
Perhaps it is because I have been through Chicago a couple times and have an appreciation for the city.
Technicals:
The technicals are good and exposure fine across the full range of luminosity. Composition wise there is nothing compelling about it, according to the 'rules', but I really like it anyway. It has lighting balance that works well an it has a technical feel to it, including sharpening, that cannot be denied as being good.
The challenge:
As a free study entry in challenges that have a lot of high quality entries this one suffers from 'subtlety'. It is to subtle to be appreciated in the time that most DPC voters have to devote to making a judgement.
This is a fine image!
I find it interesting that, like routerguy666's cityscape before, that this image has a statistical overabundance of 2s. Might be for a similar reason. It requires viewers to spend more time evaluating it to appreciate it's traits and typically the DPC voting process does not lend itself well to that.

| Nice capture. I love this genre of photography and this is a nice example. It seems like a bridge I know in Boston. I'll check back to see. |

| the joys of this photo are subtle, but profound. If I sit with it for just two moments, it transports me to I-don't-know-where and I-don't-know-when, and I wonder if it's someplace I come from, someplace I belong. the precipitation is as beautiful as any I've ever seen. 10 |
