A Reflective Chicago

Combination of three images taken from a bridge in Lincoln Park looking south toward the city. A fairly still day so the pond was filled with reflections. This is one of my favorite spots to walk -- second only to the lakefront path.
Thanks for your wonderful comments and favs on my Out of the Darkness photo of the sailboat. I appreciate each visit.

You are so inspiring me to up my game. But then I get pulled in so many directions of things I want to try. Some days I just want to retire so I have lots of time to try everything. LOL Bracketing, tone mapping, abstract, sooc and on it goes.

[Dione Giorgio]

FAV. Absolutely fantastic.

[Sheralee S]

You've made it look like such a pretty city Taffy, not that I would know any different. I once landed in Chicago just long enough to run to a connecting flight.

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Wonderful composition, I especially love the clouds so peacefully looming over the city and reflecting the same in the pond.

[David Briggs]

Another excellent shot Taffy a different feel to your usual shots this one much softer, I like the dreamy feel to it.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I'd read over all the comments in the hopes of finding some unused adjective to compliment this picture with but something tells me they've all been used. Fav'd says it best then I guess. Fabulous photo, Taffy. You make Chicago beautiful.

[Nancy]

Gorgeous view of the city and really like the processing that brings it all out.

[Taffy]

@paulaw Thanks so much Paula! I think the lack of distortion was from using my 50mm instead of the wide angle.

[bruni]

Beautiful, what a skyline and the reflection is awesome. I used to live there for a short time when I immigrated to the US in 1955.

[Khawbecker]

Stupendous, Taffy! Love it! Fav!

[Sandy]

[Gena Pegg]

SO magnificent. I haven't check TT yet...but I am sure this must be on it!! fav

[Taffy]

@eyesmile @elaine55 Thanks Elaine and Gena! You did make me feel great about this shot. At least it made it to PP which is a rare thing for me these days. But sadly, even with 60 fav's not on TT this week. My guess is we're all continuing to improve so it may take even MORE to get on TT than it has in the past! I do appreciate your vote of confidence though!
