If you cast your mind back over 18 months ago, I was at this same spot but at night, I revisited what's known was the Milk Street Park, and this time snapped a few in the light. This one struck a chord with me, I'm not sure if anyone else will fancy it, but I like it.
Thoughts, comments, criticism all welcome
(1600 posts to read since my last visit... *sigh* I'll be busy reading for a while).

I like it. Shame there is not a taller building in the bottom right hand corner to balance it all out.

Much better. Did you have a wide enough lens to get the entire circle?

Um, actually I'm not sure if I had it with me. Most the time I had the 18-200 on the D200 and the 10-20 on the D70, at times I only took the D200 out, but I'll take a look.

That's one fine image, Craig. I love the unconventional composition. Well spotted.

Interesting shot, Craig. I quite like it.
I'm not sure, but maybe it would look better rotated 180 degrees. Hard to tell without seeing it.
In any case I can see this as an abstract in a series of other architectural shots from Boston.

I like this Craig. Love the unusual perspective.
I'm being picky here but, have you tried cropping just a tad off bottom (say to just before the second concentric circle from the bottom) so that the bottom right corner building(hardly significant in the overall image and does fall short of providing the necessary balance) is removed it leaves an unusual but for me visually stimulating scene and , I think makes the image stronger. You can actually manipulate it as i suggest on screen first to gauge the effect. Don't know if that makes sense. A more pleasing crop IMHO.
cheers

I really like it, I think a nice contrasty B&W conversion would look great on it. The comp is great, nice and sharp too.

Craig,
I like the last one you posted in landscape better.

Craig, that would be 90 degrees, but even so, I prefer this orientation. I guess I like to see the 'heavier' part of the image at the bottom, rather than the top. Much improved IMO.

Ooops, I saw rotate and didn't really read the degrees, my Sony.
