RE: My "work in progress" from Chicago ...

Andy,
An expat, eh? :) Yup, that's pretty much the way it looked in person
that day. Rain, heavy clouds and high winds at dawn -- I feared that I'd
have to find some interior "plan B" site -- but by noon, when this shot was
taken, the wind had blown everything away and the sky was totally clear ...
too clear, really, since a few clouds would have added a bit of drama to the
shot. Not much green to be seen in Chicago before the first of April ...
not counting the river on St. Patricks day of course [hehe]. Though we've
now that we've had a good dump of rain and some warm days, things will be
sprouting all over! Spring is all too brief here. As I'm sure you
recall, we tend to go straight from winter to summer.
Thanks ...
Victor

I am from Chicago originally so perhaps i am a bit biased but I like it.
For better sharpening techniques see ponyboy's sharpening tutorial:

Maybe boost the green a little bit..the colors feel washed out...maybe
more total saturation...I know what chicago is like in winter and that looks
like a realisitc shot!
peace,
