This is a view of downtown Chicago taken from Grant Park on a beautiful spring morning. The colors were enhanced slightly, the image was sharpened and Neat Image was used. I did not feel any cropping was necessary.

Bit too much of the unsharp mask tool going on here. The trees look fantastic though, almost like a painting - i think i might have been tempted to crop out some of the sky just to draw more attention to the (gorgeous) landscaping. I also love the fact that the image is so devoid of people. And, sigh, those trees. Plus, those buildings on the left - great old architecture. Lighting is very good. Perhaps half a dozen steps to your right might have given a more symmtrically pleasing result but in all, very good. I'm probably docking you a point for the excessive unsharpening, but i don't think i'm being unfair giving an 8.
Maby a different crop would look better? It bothers me that the picture burns in the upper right corner. Like the colors very much. Red buildings vs. green trees. I can see a good shot taken from the path on the left up on the red buildings on the left. Good job though on this one :)
My office is on the left ... the Torco building!!! A different perspective of Chicago, that's for sure. Very nice! I'm so biased. There's a tilt of the buildings in the background that could have been corrected easily. But it's a beauty.
I think you did a pretty good job bringing out the darker areas of the photo, it looks like you had to do a fair bit of compensation for a bright sky. The bit of white surrounding the skyline is just a bit disturbing but over the photo works very well…9
