but for others, that's not as hard to do if you're just looking at shots of skylines in isolation and judging them on aspects like size, height, balance, compostion, style, variety, etc., (some of those measures being
WAY more subjective than others).

as they say, "forever" is a long time.
there might very well be additional skyscrapers added to the OKC skyline in the coming decades that could help massage the great Devon goliath back into better overall balance with the skyline.
it's happened before.
here's what chicago's mag mile skyline looked like when JHC was first built back in '69.
as the 2nd tallest building in the world at the time, it was more than twice as tall as anything around it and must have been quite jarring.
but over the decades, other tall towers have been built up around JHC and it's nowhere near as much of a "sore thumb" anymore.
