Description

This is the North Branch of the Chicago River as seen from the footpath through the Von Stuben High School campus near Kedzie Avenue. I made this shot about 5 AM on April 28, 2010, after an all-night writing session. To me, it has a moody Film Noir quality, and I can almost hear a forelorn saxophone playing in the background as I look at it. As always, thanks to everyone who is kind enough to view and comment on my gallery and I wish you all a good week.

This is nice and shimmery! I love the intense twilight color. That shade of blue is actually quite hard to catch accurately on film, even digital "film" which is actually just silicon with stuff in it, but anyway... This is kinda like one of those "do not try this at home" sorts of photo-tricks. You handled it quite well and I love the fact that this image seems to be more of a mood than a picture. That's always a plus in my book. This--as always--is great stuff.

It's like the reflection of the fence is trying to lassoo the moon! Fabulous capture and the colour is super! ^=^

Oh yes ... I can hear the sax ... I love the color, and the composition is just right. Reflections of things out of frame are the best sort ... this is top notch stuff!
