These are pictures that i took from the observatory on the 95th floor of the Hancock Tower. I have a lot more, but I think these are the best. as you can tell, theres a few, quickly stitched at best, panoramic photos in there as well. chicago was a blast, whatta great town!
thanks for looking!

I love chicago. I went to college there (Illinois Tech). Too bad I wasn't into photography then.

Got some nice shots there. What's with all the vignetting though? Is that your lens or a photoshop treatment?

Wow, looks like Chicago can have as much smog as LA.

Beautiful shots :)

as far as all the vignetting goes, i had a polarizer on that is a few mm too small for the lens (it fits on by adapter), so that when i zoom all the way out, what you see results. i need to just get a new polarizer, but meh.

thanks for all the comments yall!

I like the moody light! I believe the fourth composition is the strongest of the bunch. The composition with the breakwater fits the tricky border well. By enhancing the image at the same time the stitch/crop style is justified and not a gimmick.
The vingetting does not even bother me in this style.:thumb
