 Been waiting to get into the city at night to shoot! Finally got the chance last week. I'm pretty happy with this shot. Its my first Chicago at night submission, and I like the reflection. The reflection went much lower, but I felt like I lost impact on the sizing by including too much of it.

Convert from RAW--upped the exposure a bit

Very well done. The verticals are all truly vertical, which really helps give a feeling of height. I particularly like the way we can peek in through some of the office windows.

Beautifully captured. I'm not sure if the building on the left actually bends that way... Minor distortion is legal to correct in Advance Editing and in this image I think it would help very much. It's the only thing marring it from perfection, I think. (not voting yet)
