Taken along the Chicago River on a photowalk with a friend of a 365 friend -- it was a really beautiful day and unusually warm for November. I took several shots of the reflector under the bridge, with and without people and processed in color and b&w. Posting the two that to me were the most interesting.
Had a remarkably smooth trip to Portland and happily settling into our AirB&B that has great Internet. Family fun starts in the morning!
Thank you all for the wonderful response to my two bird photos -- they both ended up on PP, much to my surprise, which is very motivating for trying something less familiar.

I just love the reflections, strong contrasts, the human scale and the way those lines track precisely to each left side corners. :) Enjoy your day... back to the stove! ;) Fav.
@falcon11 Thanks for the visit, comment, and fav Allison. It's always hard for me to choose whether to include people (usually no) or not. I do think they add something here.
I like the black and white version much more - full of mystery, and the eye is more drawn to the reflections in the smooth surface. The people provide a nice focal point, which, for me, was missing in the other photo.
@darylo Thanks Daryl! This was on the walk with Bruce -- his was of course perfectly balanced with the people and shadow exactly right. Ah...to have his eye and talent!
