Architecture: Honorable Mention 2022 (amateur)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This is the rotunda that's part of Orchestra Hall in Chicago, where the CSO performs. The day I was there, a huge banner was hanging down the middle of the space, making a traditional straight-up capture impossible. A little maneuvering resulted in a fresh perspective. Great lesson for both photography and life!
