    Re: A View from South Chicago

    I'm no pro, but I'd suggest moving the crop down to get rid of some of the sky. It's a crowded city, full of steel and concrete, and I think removing some of the blue would bring that out. BTW, I just finished driving to Indiana and back in one day (today) . . the toll ways make me want to . . . stop having to pay tolls!

    Re: A View from South Chicago

    Matt - Hmm... Well, the first thing is to somehow eliminate that fence from the shot (just take the magic wand... yeah, right) If there was some people standing in front of it looking out into the distance at the city, I think it would be OK, sorta a contemplation shot. It's almost that anyway, but, not quite there.

    There's the same fences on pedestrian bridges in this town. There's one that has a hole clipped in it - I want to get over there one evening and shoot a night time exp. of the cars and their headlights... This bridge might also be decent for that, with the city lights glowingin the background?
