Thanks everyone; It's made to look like a ship. There is a bike rental, lifeguard office, rest rooms, food court and the loung upstairs for drinks. Later in the day the railings are full with bikes from people riding there from both north and south of the city along the Lake Shore Drive bikepath. The beach is just to the left.

I think it's an excellent image.

My only suggestion is to get into photoshop and work on the American flag. Erase the ghost up there.

Very nicely done (agree on the flag, but that's always a hassle in HDR).

Very nicely done


off topic but related to your photo... How do you get that shadow around the photo in the framing? I can do the frame but have difficulty with the shadowing.

Thanks,

Here is a link to the shadow or just google drop shadow frame
