This picture is one of the best pics of a night shot of Chi-town I have ever seen...and I've been up in a small plane at night, down the lakeshore of Chicago too. What a great city! Soldier Field was also Bears won 16-3 (left-center of pic).

Gorgeous contrast between the dark water in the fore-front and the lights in the background. Love
the outlines of the downtown buildings. (I'm a
white-knuckle flier but have actually looked out the
window when approaching Chicago at night just to
admire this view!)

Good shot.. the night beauty is captured with a fair amount of detail from a flight deck, which is very difficult.. and above all it catches eyes with jazzy glittering lights..

Always liked the Chicago skyline, either up close from the ground, or from the air, day or night. That is one dynamic city! And the reflection on the winglet is cool!

....... I can't say what makes this photo excellent. It simply is. I love the entire pic, it's one of the views I remember from my flights, and I've tried to draw it, because I couldn't picture it. The city lights reflected in the wing .. absolutely great - that's what makes the difference.

This is an absolutely immaculate photograph. Probably the best quality one could attain from inside the flight deck, looking through those tiny oval windows with a camera.

I've flown to and from o'hare a countless amount of times, and this is the first photograph I've ever seen that actually captures the essence of a flight on a night like this. The Chicagoland area in all of it's grace, on one cold, crisp december night!!
