Chicago Glow

Please have a look at the Large version

The print size could be up to a 80x40

I have become fascinated with Panoramic images, and I am going to work towards seeing and capturing more scenes in the Panoramic style. On this fine night, the light post sunset created this wonderful summer glow. I made the choice to keep the illuminated concrete as the foreground because I think it helps to ad some kind of anchor to this scene, and it frames up the skyline nicely. What do y'all think?

Thanks for any thoughts y'all may have cool

The colour is what hits me especially about this image, Ryan - the purplish hues are sheer delight and nicely set off by the touch of warmth at the R ( if anything it might have been nice to see a little more of that warm glow, but I don't know how that would have affected your comp. ).  The capture of the wavelets on the water ( especially viewed in the large version ) is the other main treat; the concrete fg works well for me.  Lovely image !!

I can see the concrete working both ways. I like the "anchor" as it is, but I can also see it working without it. I think that is up to personal choice. I agree that panoramas can be fascinating, and you composes a really excellent one here.

Real nice warm glow and fine cityscape. I could see giving it a CW rotation to level the shoreline.
