 Chicago GTG 06. Five downtown buildings left lights on spelling 'CPD,' and, in this case, a badge number honoring Chicago's fallen police officers. Converted from RAW and then some basic curves and levels. Most of my other shots had lens flares, this one has a hot pixel, argh. Shot from the Museum Campus near the Adler Planetarium at the end of the evening of the Chicago GTG.

With my other current challenge, DPC Cinema, I'll have two Chicago night cityscapes going at the same time. God I lack creativity!

Best cityskape I have seen so far but still "only" going to give it a 7, I think this would have been even better with some blue tint in the sky if you had taken it shorter after the sunset or before sunrise.

The Bright lights in the lower left were a bit distracting, but the overall image is awsome.
