Contrast and clarity are out of this world ! Very futuristic looking photograph. I love the lighting and the muted colors as well.

I really like the picture- the two overexposed lights on the right hand side draw a little too much attention to them though

the addition of the man in the bottom adds a lot to the depth.

Beautiful shot, this would make a great background picture in a portrait. Great shot

very nice...the only problem I have are the two glaring lights just right of the center, my eye is drawn to them and it distracts from the rest of the image, but otherwise a simply gorgous shot. 9

my kind of town! I love Chicago! (I live in Lake Zurich). great sky and nice vantage point to view the night lights. could be sharper though. I would also crop out the stairs in the foreground.

Very Good picture of the Chicago skyline. Would like to see more pictures of the city upclose.

Nice sky here. The lights in the city seem just a bit blown out though. I am not sure about the inclusion of the person in the foreground. I don't think it adds anything to the shot and makes me wonder where I should be looking. = 5

Nice shot of Chicago. I have been at that exact spot. Beautiful. I like the added interest of the lone individual in the lower left.

Interesting combination of sand and city

I like this a lot, although there seems to be a bit too much empty space to me, maybe a different crop. Great shot though!
