Very nice. I like the BW and the fisheye look. I don't know how you could have avoided it--maybe a crop--but the foreground emphasis on the building lower left makes it a main subject, yet it's the least interesting part of the composition. (Not voting, just commenting.)

Great capture of the vastness of metropolis, I like the black and white.

Nice Point of View of the Chicago skyline. A bold move to do it in B&W but you did a good job.

Gorgeous. I'll try not to be too biased, as I love Chicago. :)

great perspective. don't know if this is a crop or if it is wide as possible, but the building on the left being just a bit chopped off bothers me.

Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

this is an excellent shot, and nice use of lens distortion to maximize impact, excellent details , 8

Some very tall buildings. Great clouds.

I like these POV's of cities but this is all a bit dark

Some cool 3 point perspective in this shot. CHI-TOWN!

I like the angle and pov here. It gives a great feeling of depth, height and space. Excellent detail and contrast. 8

Love the clouds here and it works nicely in B&W :)

What a beautiful view of the city. Nice conversion to B&W.

This is a really competent city-scape, taken from a great viewpoint. I really like the clouds.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1124 images, I gave 31 of them a 9. Your image was one of those 31.
There are a couple of high vantage point cityscapes in this challenge, but this is one of the best. Nice perspective, and the monochrome treatment works well. I would also like to see a nighttime long exposure from this viewpoint!
Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Nice skyline shot. The detail looks good and the sky is nice too.

Great perspective, excellent post processing.

Majestic view. The b/w really works for this. Great details, depth, and the wide angle adds a quirky "tilt" to all the buildings.

Lovely perspective, and picturesque clouds.

nice city scape, cool in B&W

Excellent shot. Worthy of a poster. Perhaps a bit more channel tweaking to get the darks to be darker

Getting dizzy just looking at it. Well Done :)

Great shot, love the processing and choice of black/white. Is it from the John Hancock Observatory?

great black and white landscape, especially with the shoreline framing the left side.

I just commented on another image which was a very colourful image of NY, composed in much the same way. Your shot, with its black and white finely juxtaposes that shot. Your B&W conversion is really strong here.
03/11/2009 11:40:34 AMPost actions
Great capture. I love the black & white. I love the softness of the clouds and smoothness of the shoreline against the sharp focus of the buildings. Time of day has also given some really interesting highlights and shadows. Thanks!

Nice and you got the lake front too. I'll be there first of April and hope to get a shot half this nice. Your lens is fine!
