Great series. #3 seems busy, yet I like it the most. The longer I look at it, he more order I see.

Thanks for posting!

I am a sky junkie, so I like #1 and #2 the best, but #4 comes in a close second

A very nice series of photo's. I think the first photo would benefit from a tighter crop. The skyline is too evenly placed in the middle of the photograph. I think if you cropped up on the water, it would put more emphasis on the skyline and also the sky itself. Again, a great set of images.

I love how busy the third is although it looks a bit bright on my calibrated monitor.

Not much for post processing -- Just some levels adjustments and sharpening.

Great set! Love the first and third. Only thing, just being annoying because I was an Architect students.... you shot the John Hancock tower from the wrong angle lol. Supposed to shot it from the other side so the building appears to not have any sides just a flat floating face lol.

Good set, although the first three seem the strongest and most appealing to me. I would definitely crop #1 to a 1x2 ratio for a "pano" look, but taking care not to remove the most appealing parts of the water. #3 looks extremely busy at first sight, but the more I look at it, the more it portrays a fantastic image of the busy city and its internal sense of multiple dimensions of order. It's a great example of an image "made" rather than captured.

Thanks Rodolfo!

I agree with your description of #3. At first glance it seems too busy to keep track of, but the more you look at it the more it seems to work. I have it set as my desktop wallpaper at work and I feel myself getting lost in it while my computer boots up in the morning. You'd be surprised how many different things you notice viewing it at full resolution on a 24" ultrasharp monitor. Thanks again for the feedback!

Great shots all around. I especially enjoy #3 and #4. It never ceases to amaze me how small Boston's buildings are for the size of the city.

Most of these, numbers 1, 2, 5, and 6, were taken from the Longfellow bridge. Number 3 was taken from the 50th floor observation deck of the Prudential Center. Finally, number 4 was taken just outside of the Charles/MGH T stop.

Thanks again everyone!
