Great choice of angle to get that wonderful reflection. The angled horizon works really well too.

I like your choice of perspective, tilting the foreground and shooting up to bring the buildings at left vertical. Looks like it was a beautiful Chicago morning.

Nice use of HDR to shot a lot of color.

Nice composition. A lot of dust on your sensor, but the angle of composition of the photo overrules that and the whole thing is still quite nice.

It is such a funny bean
planted on a metropolitan street.
It grows not branch nor leafy green
but reflects the pulse of city heartbeat.

I like the angle you took this for it adds visual interest. The reflected lines on the concrete and the city skyline makes the Bean look like it monitoring the heartbeat of the city vibe. Having seen some other picture of the sculptures that grace Millennium Park, the bean does indeed reflect the art vibe of the city:-)

Nice enough shot but seen this so many times here before lowers the amount of interest.

Strange sculpture, it's pretty funky. Nice exposure, cool reflections. Good shot.

I like your angle on the bean.

Lovely. One of the best "Bean" shots I've seen.

That's a wonderful sculpture. The tilted frame really enhances the shot.

I wont ding you for the sensor dust left of the tower or the one in the middle top of the bean.
Nice comp and leading lines. Not a fan of this heavy HDR but it kind of works on this shot.

Interesting angle, terrific reflection (obviously). I'm not sure, but I think I can see some sensor dust type marks? One on the bean, a few in the sky around the skyscraper.

you have some processing halos around the building and structure. the tilt works really well.

Fabulous use of reflection. A memorable image.

Nice POV!

I really want to see this for myself. I love your composition with the tilt. The sunrise (?) colours are great!

I like the POV and the cool refection in the bean but there are a number of dust spots dotted throughout the image which detracts from an overall good image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/11/2012 05:21:11 PM
I like how you have this on an angle.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/11/2012 10:29:01 AM
Now that's a wide angle perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/10/2012 11:27:18 PM
Nice to get there when there aren't any people yet - nice morning light! I like the angle, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

So weird and enjoyable in so many ways, the horizon, POV, the lack of pedestrians, the skyline reflection, the object! Great processing but man you should have cloned out that dust bunny at the top middle of the bean.
