Chicago Skyline at Dusk

Thank you all for viewing and your comments on yesterday's photos. Major university committee role ended at 3:30 today (30 minutes early) and proposal is moving along. This shot is from last night's sunset that Jim had called me out to see. I didn't download til today and liked it better than any of the other shots from today that I took opportunistically. What was interesting is that the actual color was this amazing deep blue, but when I converted to monochrome, I ended up liking it more. For some reason, the blue which was real looked more processed than this one. Odd!
stunning skyline !!

Nice processing. It does look very natural, even though it is monochrome. And a great picture of our wonderful skyline.

Living in a relatively small seaside town I love to see these big cityscapes...... Nice subdued tones, highlighted by those twinkly lights......

I do like it with the monochrome processing. I like the B&W buildings against the steel blue sky.

Interesting how what we consider "real" doesn't always appear that way!

@dtigani Thanks so much David. This is one of my personal favorites and I have the same feeling. I can't articulate why, but I just like it -- maybe the balance, or that we see the structure, rather than color or 'scene'. I don't know...but I appreciate your fav a lot!

@northy Thanks so much! I still am trying to figure out why I like this shot so much, but it is one of my favorites even if I can't explain why.
