Thank you for the comments. This crop was not my favorite of this shot. My internet was down so I went to the local library to post and discovered the other files just over the 150kb limit. I had another crop that I straightend the tower as it did seem to be leaning a little. Oh well, I am in this to improve my shots, thanks again for the comments.

This could be helped imo by recomposing a little to the right and zooming out just a bit to get more sky. Maybe a little bump up in contrast as well.

This looks like a red striped spider, grin! Nice simple composition. Good negative space.

Comment by dahkota:
honestly, this image, while well taken, is on the boring side. There is no ground attached to the water tower, giving me a sense of place, nor is there anything active happening in the sky. I just wish there was more of something other than what is there. The focus and the colors are great, this image just suffers from lack of meaning.

Nice shot. Seems like tower is leaning though. You might also try using a polarizing filter on your lens(if you don't already), it would make your sky a darker blue and make your subject stand out more.

Hi Scott,
This has the making of a wonderful image I hope you still have the image on file. I think you just got caught in photographers no mans land. What I mean is the cloud cover is nice and whispy great formation but not being very thick allows to much sun to get through. A polarizeing filter used correctly here may have helped to reduce the glear, or cropping out the sun all together and useing a warming filter would have helped. There is a nice warm golden glow to the image and bringing more of that out replacing the sun would have helped you greatly here. Like I said if you still have the image try cropping out the sun and try a plug-in to enhance that golden glow, I think you will be very pleased with the outcome.

there is too much glare from the sun, otherwise, it would be a nice capture

I wish there were more focus on the boat. Pretty image and nice composition.

Good composition and rule of thirds. It has the makings of a very good picture, but the sun is overpowering and the boat isn't sharp. Hard to resolve shooting into the sun.

Maybe add a little contrast? So much looks hazy.
