The City of Pittsburgh, PA taken from the famous West End Overlook. The river in the center is the Ohio - to the left of the city the Allegheny and the right is the Monongahela. The lens was at 54mm, handheld about 3:15 in the afternoon. There is a lovely fountain at the Point but it gets turned off when it is windy as it was today. Rain off and on, but I managed to get some late day sun for this shot.

Something about the composition of this throws it off a little, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe the city line could be just a little lower?
Mmm, the old Golden Triangle from Mt. Washington. I've done many shots from here, but I have to say the two entered in this challenge are superior to anything I've been able to pull off. You caught a nice light on this one.
I like this cityscape, but if you tilted the frame either further down or further up it would be more dramatic. Or you could crop it so it's a panorama.
-i could be wrong on this but... when i think of landscape i think of trees, streams, mountains... not buildings
-none-the-less, it is a wonderful photo: great sky, nice colors in the water, you definitely captured the essence of this city in your frame
Hey... this looks familiar! Nicely done, Chris... I think this will be an interesting DPC experiment to see if there's a "night and day difference" between night and day shots. Too bad the fountain wasn't on :)
Beautiful cityscape. Unfortunately, I can't help but compare it to the almost identical night shot titled "Confluence". Both have strong merits. This is a great location and capture.
