Both are good, but I think I slightly prefer Columbus' skyline. And to me, I like how the river adds to Columbus' skyline. For the most recent one, Louisville has a nice skyline for a smaller city, but to me Portland's skyline feels more complete. And I like how the mountains, add to Portland's skyline. I wish Louisville's skyline was slightly more dense, but for a small city it isn't bad.

Saskatoon, SK, or Saint Paul, MN?
Definitely Saint Paul, it is more compact, has less gaps and nicer buildings. Saskatoon's skyline is too spread out and oddly shaped, and not a lot of nice high rises, in my opinion. Though, the Bessborough beats anything I can see in Saint Paul.
I'll go with Stamford, since it does have a blend of older and new buildings. Plus has a waterfront, and the combination of all 3 factors makes me prefer Stamford. I do like how modern the Tyson skyline looks like, and maybe this will be one to watch in future years?
Speaking of skylines outside of a main city skyline: Evanston, IL, or Clayton, MO?

Clayton. Looks taller. Beaumont TX or Amarillo TX?
Clayton, with density being main the X-factor. If anything, its proximity to St. Louis compliments itself, and its visible from the Gateway Arch in the distance, forming the last node of a greater skyline that includes Downtown StL and the Central West End, with Forest Park providing a nice green lung between the CWE and Clayton. Huntsville's downtown is more isolated and what you'd expect from a city its size that's more auto-friendly with just scattered midrises and a couple "short highrises" mixed in with significant gaps.

Fort Lee, NJ vs. Cambridge, MA
I'll pick Cambridge. The density looks a little better here, and I like how it seems like there is a blend of old and new buildings in Cambridge. Fort Lee has some gaps in its skyline, and that it seems most(if not all) of the tall buildings are along the lines of residential/condo buildings that to me, don't stand out in their designs.
Newark, NJ, or Wilmington, DE?
