Didnt get much feedback from the critique corner, so ill try my luck here.

Hey guys, i just pieced this together(6shots) and want to know what you think of it in all aspects. It looks OK to me, but i feel i can make it better and will go back to it someday....just not sure whats off exactly. played with composition for a while, but let me know! i want to make it pop more

any comments welcome, no matter how negative or harsh. im not a 12 year old and wont cry. promise.

Only thing is flickr doesnt do well with panoramic compression

I'm not crazy about the lights and the trees coming up on the left, did you use a star filter? It seems that the foreground is more the subject, when the skyline should be. All and all, its a good photo IMO.

I think it looks pretty darn good. I've yet to try a panorama shot.

I like it! The time of day is perfect and I like how the structure in front also works as a platform for the skyline in the background. It's always tough to evaluate panaramas on the internet...the aspect ratio is so extreme that the resulting image is relatively tiny.

I really like it. I think you'd get better results from closer to the lake. My main issue is a lot of the stuff in the foreground is distracting. Mostly its newer portion of McCormick place in the middle that bothers me. I think the rest of it is pretty solid though.
