Reason: I just took this photo because I thought it was fun, but looking at it closer, I reckoned it to be a building in another building; the entrance of Hancock Place is in eactly the same spot as the entrance of the church is, altough in reflection. I really felt it was like old meets new (or vice versa) in Boston, or better yet; they blend in perfectly.

Oppose. It's a lovely image, to be sure, but I'm not sure how it adds to the 'pedia (other than aesthetically). --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:38, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The encyclopedic value is weak as Dante Alighieri mentioned. Also, the technical aspects of this picture are not that great since there is a significant amount of oversharpening causing halos, and the dynamic range is lacking causing the sky to be blown out.

Oppose. Poor encyclopedic value. Spikebrennan (talk) 19:52, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest trying this again in the afternoon. This is obviously morning, with the sun coming toward the camera along St. James, blowing out the sky and leaving Trinity Church in shadow. Later in the day the church will be lit and the sky looking in this direction—southeast—won't be so bright. I do think there's potential EV for this, since Pei's intention was to avoid disrupting the feel of Copley Square by having the older buildings reflected in the tower.
