Chicago Skyline in the Blue Hour by taffy

Chicago Skyline in the Blue Hour

One of the images I'm finally getting around to posting from the Adler Planetarium meetup. About halfway down this walkway (a long jetway that leads to the planetarium behind me) is where I took the photograph of the photographers at work. Sunset a little later is in my main album: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2014-04-17
Processed with newly downloaded Photomatix HDR program.
What a beautiful scene! Love it! fav!

Awesome. Another fav.

Ahhhhhh...yes! Another fav!

I like the POV, colors and the geometric nature of the composition. Wondering if you can smooth out blacks in the lower right corner so your eye stays with the beautiful skyline.

Love this one too!

Terrific lines in this. I love night shots and you live in the perfect place for that. Excellent.
April 18th, 2014  
Another stunning!

@falcon11 Thanks for the idea -- good one -- what do you think now? I lightened it using cloning so it was such a jarring shift from where light was hitting the lake.

Great shot! Light and colors are fabulous!
April 18th, 2014  
Wonderful composition and amazing colors.

Love the POV on this one.

There's much more brightness and light in this direction. I like the way the shoreline wraps around the left and back of the image.
April 18th, 2014  
What a gorgeous image!
April 18th, 2014

Fabulous capture! Beautiful composition! Fav!
April 18th, 2014  
I love the leading lines in this going straight up to the skyscrapers, the starbursts in the streetlamps, and that amazing sky!
April 18th, 2014  
Super nice perspective and so such wonderfully sharp details as for example those (rescue) steps in the water.
April 18th, 2014  
Amazingissimo - soooo sharp
April 18th, 2014  
Taffy, this is a stunner!. You have posted many magnificent pictures since I have been following your project, but in my eyes this is one of your finest. I love your viewpoint, which must have been chosen very carefully, with the strong line of the path and lights framing the left and leading the eye into the picture, following the buildings beyond the lake across the picture. Great HDR processing as well...looks very natural (in my opinion, Photomatix simply is the best S/W for this processing)
April 18th, 2014  
Beautiful
April 18th, 2014  
Fav, love, love, love it
April 18th, 2014
