Feb 1, 2016		     Did a lot of walking around that area... Decent capture of these building shadows, pity we couldn't meet up. Congratulation on your top ten finish!

Feb 1, 2016		     Thank-you for all of the comments and critiques. No one is mistaken. One of the shadows projecting onto Lake Michigan is indeed the John Hancock Building and this image was captured on the 54 floor of that building. The “penthouse” in the center is the Drake Tower and part of the venerable Drake Hotel in Chicago. The beach is the Oak Street Beach, which is part of the Gold Coast.

Feb 1, 2016		     Good photo. Weak resolution. Still I like it.

Jan 31, 2016		     Very interesting photograph. Great view point, lovely sweeping curve.

Jan 31, 2016		     nice shot. i want to know two things.... what floor were you on when taking this, and who lives in that penthouse in the center??

Jan 31, 2016		     Nice point of view, I'm just looking for a bit more in the foreground.

edit - also think more contrast could lift this.

Jan 31, 2016		     The strange bright edge effect around the shadow is a little bothersome, but other than that I love the composition. I also have an appreciation for this shoreline and building shadows, recently being to Chicago... If I am not mistaken this is the beach of the "Gold Coast"?
Lo
Jan 31, 2016		     I like the angle you have chosen to show the shadows - it makes for an interesting view.

Jan 31, 2016		     WOW! You must have been high up. I can think of nowhere in my country where you could get such a scene. Those shadows must really annoy the sun bathers ;-) . GL.

Jan 31, 2016		     would like to see the colour one
the blacks are not dark enough and I think the title needed expansion to get the resolution across

Jan 30, 2016		     My guess is that is Chicago looking over the Lake Michigan shoreline & thinking this was taken from above in Sears Tower? Neat idea.

Jan 30, 2016		     Clever idea and conveys your message well.

Jan 29, 2016		     Great capture and technically well done. High in my faves.

Jan 29, 2016		     A dramatic shot, though I find the connection to your 'resolution' to be a bit tenuous.

Jan 28, 2016		     Neat image. I like how you made shadows the subject and used B&W. Unless I'm badly mistaken that's Hancock building's shadow and Chicago lakefront, Robert.
