    Hi Everybody,
    This is my first post on Travel and Cityscapes - I normally skulk on ETL...:)
    This is my view of the Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago's Millenium Park, taken at the beginning of March whilst visiting my son, who has just completed his studies at the University of Chicago.

    Nicki,

    What is the reflection in?

    I would suggest cropping from the left more to leave less of the detailess white. Crop close to the bottom left at the interface of the white and the reflection.

    I like the strong diagonals in the reflection.

    Hi Robert,
    Many thanks for your suggestion. I realised after I posted my original that it would be totally confusing to anyone who has not seen the Cloud Gate sculpture! With this in mind I have posted a picture of the whole thing so that you can see what it is!! It is situated in Millenium Park in downtown Chicago and is truly spectacular. Hope you like it!
    Regards,
    Nicki

    I love the original photo, Nicki. It is spectacular. The first posting is nice but would need a different crop;.
