Took this image in Chicago last year. Was my last night in Chicago before I flew out to Thailand for a brief holiday. I wanted to go to Millennium Park and photograph the bean statue that is big draw in the park. I had seen stuff from Ming Thein and was only a few blocks away.

Trying to get a decent shot without someone entering the frame in a distracting position was…
