The Hancock is the 16th tallest building in the world rising to 344 m (1127 ft) on N. Michigan Ave, the magnificent mile of Chicago. Its distinctive X-bracing has made it an architectural icon, and eliminates the need for inner support beams to stiffen the building against wind forces, greatly increasing the usable floor area.
Tech: Autolevels, resize and sharpening.

Initial thoughts/My opinion Just excellent: full of symmetry and leading lines, with a well-chosen title and subtitle. Very good
Content/Composition Not much to say that has not already been said: very well composed, B&W is a great choice, good text. As others, I do think that different fonts could fit better to the strong, esthetical lines of the building though.
Also the lower text is hard to read at this size.
Camera work -technically You did it just right and it shows.
Digital Processing - Technical Also very well done. The border is well chosen
Fits the challenge Of course it does.
Taking 14th place in such a strong contest as this was is almost like winning a ribbon in one of the less strong ones, so thumb up and lets wait for your first ribbon.
Overall composition is very "poster" (a good thing) - I like the quote and the way you've chosen to display it. THe title font isn't complimentary to the quote or the poster IMO. I would like to see a more interesting sky (given sky is the motivation here)
Very nicely done, but I might have picked a different typeface on the title...but I like the angle of the photo and the black and white treatment. Is that the John Hancock?? I grew up in Chicago, and thought I recognized it
Wow, great perspective and depth. Good clarity and sharpness. Love the font on the bottom, but the top one is a bit too heavy for my taste. It is usually the other way around. Lighter design components go toward the top and heavier towrads the bottom. Otherwise well done.
