Paul, that's a terrific photo! I only spent one weekend in ChiTown back in my university days, and I had a terrific time. Through all the haze, I remember being most impressed by the local architecture. Of the skyscrapers, I think the Hancock Center was my fave - it's just so nicely proportioned, with that lovely taper and the distinctive cross-bracing. There's no other modern skyscraper in the world like it. You've captured it beautifully here - from just the right angle/focal length - it seems to go on forever, but doesn't look massive. I also like the inclusion of the spiral building/annex/whatever (I assume it's a parking garage?) - your choice of focal length proportions it nicely with the main building, yet the curves really work well against all the straight lines of the main tower. And, the clouds/blue sky are dramatic as well. Great stuff!! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
