Let me know what you think!

I like them all, great shots!!

Thanks Dan!

Great series. #3 seems busy, yet I like it the most. The longer I look at it, he more order I see.

Thanks for posting!

Awesome.

I am a sky junkie, so I like #1 and #2 the best, but #4 comes in a close second

i agree with ralibali 110% of the way. great job

Thanks everyone! I'm glad these got such good feedback. I went back to a few different areas this weekend, so stay tuned for some more shots this week!

Thanks again!

A very nice series of photo's. I think the first photo would benefit from a tighter crop. The skyline is too evenly placed in the middle of the photograph. I think if you cropped up on the water, it would put more emphasis on the skyline and also the sky itself. Again, a great set of images.

#2 does it for me

I love how busy the third is although it looks a bit bright on my calibrated monitor.

I can only hope to capture cities as great as you guys.

Did you do any post processing? I can never tell (hopefully soon to change).

#2 is awesome. love it! how long did you expose it for?

Not much for post processing -- Just some levels adjustments and sharpening.

Thanks! I just checked the exif and that was a 10 second exposure.

I love #2, Fantastic image.

Great set! Love the first and third. Only thing, just being annoying because I was an Architect students.... you shot the John Hancock tower from the wrong angle lol. Supposed to shot it from the other side so the building appears to not have any sides just a flat floating face lol.

Good set, although the first three seem the strongest and most appealing to me. I would definitely crop #1 to a 1x2 ratio for a "pano" look, but taking care not to remove the most appealing parts of the water. #3 looks extremely busy at first sight, but the more I look at it, the more it portrays a fantastic image of the busy city and its internal sense of multiple dimensions of order. It's a great example of an image "made" rather than captured.

Thanks Rodolfo!

I agree with your description of #3. At first glance it seems too busy to keep track of, but the more you look at it the more it seems to work. I have it set as my desktop wallpaper at work and I feel myself getting lost in it while my computer boots up in the morning. You'd be surprised how many different things you notice viewing it at full resolution on a 24" ultrasharp monitor. Thanks again for the feedback!

These are all pretty darn awesome if you ask me!
