Ed Weidman
wonderful shot kellice! the city is being rebuilt by the day and looks nothing like it used to:( l/f
Kellice Swaggerty replied:
Thanks Ed! Isn't it amazing how much the skyline has grown over the years? Whenever I go to the city I seem to see a new skyscraper that occupies what was a vacant lot the last time I was there. :)

L F I like the way you cleaned up this image which has provided clarity to the buildings. The contrast between the black and white with the c9olor gives a good sense of distance in the city.
