Very clever !!!!!

I LOVE Chicago!!! In fact, I was going to visit it tomorrow, but changed my plan and will go climbing at Davil's Lake instead.

here is my picture of the same subject.

best of luck,

Creative and well executed! Bravo~ Iren

Very cool looking shot!

I've seen similar shots by other photographers, but this has to be the best I've seen. Very nice!

Thanks, Shawn. I like to claim credit to having (at least some of) the first shots of "The Bean" -- I just happened to be there the day it was unveiled before anyone (including me) knew what it was (notice the lines on the metal--they had not smoothed them out yet). Unfortunately, the thing caught on, and there is nothing at all unique about this line of photos anymore. Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted.

Great capture. I've always had a hard time photographing this thing. I was there last February on a sunny morning after a snowstorm. There were interesting ice stalactites and scattered patches of melting snow - I'm sure you would have come up with something great. Best regards, Axel G.

I appreciate it, Axel.
