Using a slower shutter seed to capture the boats movement is great Maria. TErrific composition. #1319402Tammy M. Anderson October 20, 2010
I like it too, Maria. Great composition and capture of the motion. #8985107Val Feldman October 20, 2010
I like it a lot, Maria! The sense of motion captured really enhances the skyline of this hustling-bustling city and adds to it's sense of excitement. Sometimes a "mistake" turns out to be the right touch afterall! #8985182Julie Burnett October 20, 2010
Very cool, Maria. Your title is perfect for this wonderful image! #8985225Gina Cormier October 20, 2010
WOW....this is spectacular Maria!!!!!! Love it!!! #8985310frank w. degenhardt October 20, 2010
Maria- A sight that is not seen around this area. Perhaps down south it would be. Have been to Chicago a few times way back when, and your so right about how awesome the skyline is and I only wish I had been into photography at the time to so I could have gorgeous pictures like this one. Love the reflections, the design work of the buildings, and even your boats add to the beauty. Gorgeous work dear friend.David Phalen October 20, 2010

Yes, I, too, like the action in this wonderful photo, Mia. More than just a stagnant shot of the marveilous skyline, you've created a moving masterpiece. #8987426Leslie McLain October 23, 2010
