Alleyway & Skyscraper

By: Sasi (unsunburnt.com)

Another shot from my past trip to Chicago in December 2010.

Skyscraper as seen through an alleyway somewhere along Wabash Ave. in downtown Chicago.

That is a sensational shot, the high rise framed by other high rises. Excellent composition. I wish I could go back through my older shots and find missed gems like these. I think this one would look good as a monochrome too.

  Thanks Nikhil.
  
  I was always drawn by the alleyways – may be something to do with the darkness. Yeah I should try with monochrome and see how that looks.

Very nice, Sasi! I love the scale of this shot! It really shows how tall the buildings are!

Excellent composition and nicely metered (as mentioned). I agree with Nik, this would make a great monochrome too.

Chiaroscuro. An amazing shot.
