    Wendy asked for Chicago, so here it is. I posted this a couple years ago. Did slight adjusts since then--rotation, etc.

    Nice, Hazel! I like the contrast between the glass building and the old facade of the building across the street.

    Looks all very orderly from this height! I can feel the off-kilter effect of looking down which gives this a feeling of high-wire tension.

    The repeating lines at different angles are very strong elements. I agree with Wendy about the contrast in building styles and with Nancy about the feeling from the perspective. A thing that makes me pause and wonder -- a good thing -- is those shafts of bright light in the street.

    Aside from the induced vertigo, I like the image. The repeating basic shapes of a cityscapes are appealing.

    I like the angle, and induced vertigo too:). I might try and do more with it, not sure what, but I think filters of some kind. I love all the cars waiting at the the stop at the bottom.

    Nice perspective, Hazel. It makes me a little wobbly

    Sorry to have missed this one. It gives me vertigo to look at! Congratulations on your win. Well done. Definitely looking down.
