I would have gone with some tonal taming but
the historic charm is all there, well done, Alex!

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Agree this is a cool shot.  

But what is 'tonal taming'?

Both are great, however for me the second version is best.

Tough to say for me, I like the contrast the last one has more.

Details in the second one stand out more.  Especially in the brick work on the building.  Looks like a really nice spot.  That road looks so rough, must be tough to even walk over that!

Are there other cobblestone streets up there?  Never saw one with such rough top.

Well shot Alex. My son spent five years living and going to school in Beantown, I do NOT miss driving a full sized pick up around those streets. He lived in the North end which is even worse....
Well shot photo, I also prefer the redo....

Why so serious?

+1 on the redo. The glare alone is much more pleasant. Overall a superior edit. Well seen.

Boston is amazing city.  Glad you had opportunity to photograph it.  As pointed out, the edit has just enough pop, and is my selection as well.
