    How to tell the most experienced shooter in a group? They have the least amount of toys on them.

    Cool shot - very artsy. The pole seems out of place with the satiny signs. Have you thought about smoothing it in photoshop?

    Very cool - we all know what it says from seeing it a million times, but somehow never looked at it that way. The pole doesn't bother me, looks like authentic Chicago. White skies do though - the pole would contrast pretty well against the great partly-cloudy skies that everywhere else in the world gets to see.

    Thanks everyone.

    Steve, authentic BLOOMINGDALE is more like it. Clouds? I saw some of those today, with a bit of SUN as well...and its supposed to rain over the next few days as well, shoot me.

    LL, I feel the pole helps to ground the viewer, it adds context. But I could be wrong. I would like to know what others think as well, but overall it seems like it is not doing any bad.

    Gary, thank you as always.

    Good night all.

    nice clean shot

    I think this is one of those wonderful Seb shots...very unique.

    I like the smoothness of the walk sign(the smoothness of the red and the general feel) and I think the pole adds to the shot both for the textures(crackled paper) and for providing a more sharp linear element to the pic. NICE

    Like the view

    I think I would like it better at nighttime. Dark skys instead of light.

    Out of the ordinary though, which is always nice.
