Description
It's March, and everyone in Chicago is Irish, even the buildings.This was one of the first pictures I ever took with my Bronica.
EDIT: Spent some time re-color correcting this with Matt ( ), bastard always nails it, and came out with much better results.
Also decided to stick with the original crop I had shot it at, even though it's a little off, I think it works very well for the feel of the shot.
Compare with the Epson scan here. [link]

I love this. A little too smoky, but the contrast is great, and so is the lighting.

Yeah I like this version better... having the crop slightly off makes it better, I really love it. The fog around the buildings is amazing...

I like both versions of this one equally (btw, they're both really good). I think the difference between them is really how the viewer reacts to them. Whereas the first one seems to really emphasize a very un-natural skyline (The green coloring seems to do this), the second one, containing more softer light, especially in the buildings themselves, seems more alive. I really like this pic. Well done!

Breathtaking. The fog is just so perfect with the big city lights and skyscrapers. And I like that you took it at a bit of an angle instead of straight, giving it a different feeling.

I don't like the border. Leave it or use black or white. The view is ok, but the sharpness could be better.

maybe you could get a program (i personnally use Photoshop or ACDSee) to resize and make the 1800kb a little less like 600kb would be good.. On photoshop, you only need to make the DPI a little lower for some less quality but it will still look good, it just wont take so much time to show and its a little better for watchers and stuff
nice concept! i love the look and the colors of the pic. where are those clouds from?

Yeah, I've been thinking about lowering the quality for a while now.
I tried to look at my DA page from someone elses computer today and it was just stupid how long it took to load, so I think I'll do just that tomorrow.
