    Very intersting set of lines...the figure (is it the muse of learing?) and then the shapes of the two buildings overshadowed by the magnificent tower. Masterful POV>

    Great shot.
    They are everywhere and win (I mean modern skyscrapers) but I do not feel harmony in them in comparison with old architecture.

    A great shot. The angle is great. You also brought back memories as I used to work at the Hancock gift shop on the top floor of this tower.

    Great!!the picture is so strong! What a contrast between the dark old fashion statue and the modern tall building! Like a symbol of past and future..

    Really like the viewpoint and the flag just adds that bit of interest in the middle.

    I really like this picture as well. It is sort of an old building now. It seems like it was one of the last buildings that they built to look good. Many of the newer things they build are more to be cheap to build and upkeep. Remember when they first built this and the windows kept popping out? Please tell me you remember and I'm not that old.

    You really out-did yourself to get all of this in one photo. What a great composition.

    Hip chip: I remember the popping panes of glass...what year was that? I can't remember if I was living there when it happened or if I just heard the stories....the years play tricks with the memory...

    This has to be the bast viewing angle I've ever seen of The Hancock.

    Fantastic picture - and once again it shows how the old and new buildings sit alongside each other so well in your lovely city.

    Beautiful! I was out snapping photos in Boston all weekend. The vista from the public library is great, isn't it? I also went over to the top floor of the 100 clarendon garage and got a really imposing view of the Hancock. Great shot.

    The figure in front really helps draw attention to the Hancock building. Fantastic image!

    I'd guess this is in your top ten list! Superbly composed with wonderful light and color and it portrays regally the Hancock building!
