      did you start another chicago fire to add more color to your shot again

      Like the Phoenix? :P Those city lamps annoy me during night shoots; I had to find a use for them somehow. Besides, the in-camera JPG is not that much different.

      Thanks for the crop suggestion Stuart, but I think I have enough shots of just the city skyline -- I needed to change things up a bit.

      Thanks! The lighting was quite peculiar -- just an odd mixture because of the overcast skies. The lake had a different quality to it as well -- probably because of the chunks of ice floating around.

      that's a really nice blend of colors in the sky. i really like it.

      Wow, I LOVE the colors, the lighting, the framing, it's all perfect. You took a standard shot -- our fabulous skyline -- and made it fresh and different.

      Seriously, I could stare at this all day.

      Thank you! I knew I could find a use for the wide angle. :)
