Heres a funny story
I saw this image and thought about commenting and favoriting it but I didnt cause i was too lazy to full view it.
Then I was watching tv and like you know how in tv shows there are like clips of sunsets and places and stuff, well there was a clip with this in it and i was like wtf I saw that in a picture today!!!
So yea, thats what intrigued me more into looking, commenting, and faving this photo.

awesome shot, i must say if you captured just the globe it wouldn't look interesting as it does with all the people around it that give it the reflection. Great capture

Beautiful shot...But I just have to ask...
How the heck is it still so shiny and where are all the birds? o.O (Usually sculptures would be _coated_!)

did you have a blast? did you photograph it??

I was there over St Patty's for the parade and greening of the river. I was visiting friends. I did photograph it and I did have a blast - even though there was a freak snow squal and bitter cold weather
There was a large crowd of people so I tried to use that in a creative way - I took a series of pictures beginning far away and ending close up. The idea was you'd try and pick me out the crowd and it would get easier to spot the closer I got. LOL

Now I have a reason to go to Chicago! (Or rather, a third... we plan on going to catch a weekend of Hockey & Football someday!) This is beautiful... there are so many possibilities with photographing it! You should try at night, or at dusk, when the light is different... Oh! I know! Full Moon!!!! Sorry... I just wish I was there to try... Living vicariously through you! lol
